Log Source

Configuring Log Sources for Reports

TMSP creates reports based on logs uploaded by Registered Products. For a list of logs received from registered products and how TMSP processes them, see Downloading Registered Product Logs.

TMSP has a default log source called All Registered Products. This log source enables TMSP to generate a comprehensive report, showing your network’s overall security posture. This report is useful for people who oversee your network’s infrastructure, such as the Chief Security Officer.

Generate targeted reports by adding log sources and narrowing down the scope to several registered products. A targeted report has many uses. Consider the following scenarios:

• If a network segment is vulnerable to threats, create a report from Threat Discovery Appliances that monitor this network segment so you can track user activities and take preventive action.

• If there are registered products in different geographical locations, with a dedicated administrator in each location, create a report from registered products in each location and send the report to the administrator.
