Reporting on Astaro Security Gateway

Friday, December 10th, 2010

Astaro Security Gateway devices are capable of producing some very detailed log files including full URLs, usernames, categories, block action and reason which gives you some great reporting options in WebSpy Vantage.

Take a look at our dedicated Astaro pages to get an idea of what can be achieved when analyzing Astaro Web Gateway log files with WebSpy Vantage.

I’ve created some quick videos to show you how to enable the correct logging options on the Astaro Security Gateway appliance, how to import these log files into Vantage, and analyze the data on the Summaries screen. (more…)

Microsoft Forefront TMG Release Candidate now available

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

Microsoft has announced the availability of Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway (TMG) Release Candidate (RC). This is the final public release of TMG before it is made available to purchase.

If you’re considering upgrading your ISA Server to TMG, this means that you can start your deployment using the Release Candidate, and simply switch it to a licensed version with no additional configuration changes once the full release is available. (more…)

Convert Microsoft ISA 2006 MSDE logs to WebSpy compatible text logs

Monday, July 20th, 2009

Some customers have experienced issues converting their ISA MSDE logs to text using Microsoft’s MSDEToText.vbs script for ISA 2006 (available at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=23531736-942f-466c-acb3-861a899d37b4&displaylang=en)

If you convert your logs to text using this script, they won’t import into WebSpy Vantage or Analyzer due to an extra line break in the header of the file (after #fields:).

We’ve therefore created a modified version of the script that creates compatible log files for WebSpy software.

Download the modified MSDEToText script:
MSDEToText.zip -26 KB

Also make sure the file names of your output log files contain the word WEB (for Web Proxy logs) or FWS (for Firewall Logs) as Analyzer and Vantage use these strings to automatically detect the type of ISA log file.

Happy converting!

Disabling time synchronization between guest and host in Microsoft Virtual PC

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

Microsoft Virtual PC synchronizes the time between the guest and host operating systems. This is great until you have the need to set the clock forward or backwards in your VM, as it snaps back to the current time after about 5 seconds.

I went hunting through the options in the Virtual PC UI but didn’t find anything related to disabling this option. A bit of googling later and I’ve got it disabled by adding a few lines of XML to the .vmc file. (more…)
