Symantec Gateway Security
Cyfin Reporter is designed to work with Symantec gateway security. It integrates into your current system configuration.
Cyfin Reporter is installed on a server, not on the Symantec appliance
Logfile Setup
Logfile Type: Symantec Gateway Security
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 Symantec Gateway Security 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 Symantec Gateway logfiles is C:/logs, but it can easily be changed.
Configuration Notes
NOTE: Before Cyfin can read your logs you will need to run a conversion tool called "Flatten." This tool will convert the stored binary data to ASCII text. The flatten8 utility is shipped on the included CD and lets an administrator perform simple log file management from the command line. Below, please make note of the command for converting Symantec Gateway Security logfiles to ASCII text.
flatten8.exe -b {logfilename} > Newlog
