The real power of a centralized antivirus system is its ability to record and present
information regarding the network's antivirus policy from a single console. IT professionals
can
easily access information while they are monitoring their network servers.
ServerProtect provides
comprehensive information about scanning, file updating, and deploying results. Furthermore,
ServerProtect saves the information in a
log file which can be either retrieved or exported. For example, you can analyze the
scanning
statistics for virus scanning on your network. These statistics include information
such as what
the most common viruses are or which users introduced viruses to the network. In addition,
you
can export the log information to a database or spreadsheet application for further
analysis.
On each Normal Server, ServerProtect supports backing up of log database file when it exceeds the default
size limit of 10-MB or after configured number of days. The default size for the log
file is
10,000 entries, or up to 10-MB. After the log file exceeds 10,000 entries or 10-MB,
which ever is
smaller in size, ServerProtect
automatically renames the log file and creates a new log file. ServerProtect, however, does not impose
number of days limit, unless it is configured. For information on configuring log
backup, refer
to Configuring the Log Database Backup Options topic in Online Help.
You can also take action on the infected files directly from the Scan Result window,
providing
you a convenient way to take appropriate actions on a virus infection event. For more
information
about log files, refer to the ServerProtect online help from the ServerProtect Management Console. For more information on Virus logs, refer to the
Viewing log information and Viewing Information Server logstopics in the Online Help.
