Chapter 2: Logging and Blocking
Web Access Logging
One of the primary functions of the ProxyBlocker is to log
the activity of users on the Internet. Information captured in
the log can be transferred to a reporting appliance, to be
viewed on a PC monitor or output to a printer.
8e6 recommends using the Enterprise Reporter (ER) for
generating reports. When the ER server is connected to the
ProxyBlocker server, log files from the ProxyBlocker are
transferred to the ER server where they are “normalized”
and then inserted into a MySQL database. The ER client
reporting application accesses that database to generate
queries and reports.
NOTE: See Appendix E: Configuring the ProxyBlocker for ER
Reporting for information on configuring the ProxyBlocker and
ER.
