and then imports the data into its database. A log source can be a directory on the Web
Reporter report server, an FTP Server, or NetCache.
• Database — The database stores data from each log source, and reports are generated
using the data. Supported external database platforms include Microsoft SQL 2000 and 2005,
MySQL 5.0, and Oracle 9 and 10.
Sending Web Reporter logs
The Web Reporter server needs to collect and process log files of browsing data. After the log
file data is transferred to the database, reports can be generated. To get the log files to the
Web Reporter server, you must run an ePO server client task. Use this task to set up the client
task to run on managed systems.
When the task takes place, SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus sends any and all Web Reporter data to
the Web Reporter configured in the Event Tracking policy. SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus collects
all data logs from the secure SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus database and sends Web Reporter logs
on page view and file downloads to the appropriate Web Reporter server, based on user- or
system-based policy.
NOTE:
Because of the amount of data that can be transferred when the logs are sent, setting
the client task to run on a randomized schedule is highly recommended.
Before you begin
The client task to send Web Reporter logs is available only after the Web Filtering for Endpoint
extension has been installed. Also, the settings in the Event Tracking policy for access to the
Web Reporter server must be in place.
