BorderManager

Cyfin Reporter is designed to work with BorderManager.  It integrates easily into your current system configuration.

Cyfin Reporter is installed on a server, not on the BorderManager Server


Logfile Setup

Logfile Type:  BorderManager Proxy

FTP Arrangements:  If your logfiles are currently being FTP'd, please determine the destination server/directory.  If you plan to install Cyfin on the server where BorderManager logfiles reside, no further action is needed.  If not, configure your logs to be scheduled for FTP transfer to the server Cyfin is installed on.  Note:  The Cyfin default directory for BorderManager logfiles is /proxy/logs, but it can easily be changed.


Configuration Notes

The following types of logging are available from the BorderManager proxy:

Common format:  Logs the following information:  remote hostname, user's remote login name, authenticated username, date, request line from client, status, and length of data in bytes.

Extended format:  Logs the common format information plus the following:  cached status, date, time, client IP address, URL method, and URL.

Indexed format:  Also referred to as the audit log.  Logs the common and extended format information plus the following:  when access was allowed or denied, the IP address that initiated an access attempt, the destination, the HTTP command used, and the result of the attempt (hit or miss).

If you selected common or extended logging, click the format name and specify the following parameters for each format: 

1.  Log Rollover.  How often the file is overwritten (rolls over) by time (days or hours) or by size (KB or MB).

2.  Old Log Files.  Whether old log files are deleted because of their age or because of the number of old log files that are retained in the database.

3.  Stop Services If Logging Fails.  When enabled, stops all proxy services when the log file is full and log rollover is not specified.

NOTE:  Log File Directory is the directory to which the common or extended format log file is written.
