Configuring the Secure Logging Server

The Secure Logging Server manages the flow of information to and from the Nsure auditing system. It receives incoming events and requests from the Platform Agents; logs information to the data store; monitors designated events; and provides filtering and notification services. It can also be configured to automatically reset critical system attributes according to a specified policy.

The Logging Server object represents the physical server where you have installed the Secure Logging Server. This object is represented as a container with server attributes; it may contain Nsure Audit objects and it stores all the properties and attributes for the Secure Logging Server.

The Server Configuration task allows you to easily configure the Logging Server object. You can access the Server Configuration task in two ways:
