Here’s a video I put together demonstrating how to get up and running with a complete monitoring and reporting solution in less than 15 minutes. The video demonstrates three products: WebSpy Sentinel, for complete data capture, WebSpy Live for real time alerts, and WebSpy Analyzer Standard for analysis and reporting.
We’ve got a great deal at the moment where you get 20% off Live and Sentinel if you purchase them online with Analyzer Standard.

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!

Majority of benefits directly relate to the network device being monitored so I will structured the business benefits based on this. (more…)
