Novell BorderManager 3.8 is instrumented to use Nsure Audit for HTTP proxy logging.
Nsure Audit provides secure logging, reporting, monitoring and notification capabilities. Through integration with Nsure Audit, the BorderManager 3.8 HTTP proxy supports logging of all events previously reported in the Common and Extended log formats, plus the categorizations of each Web request as provided by third party URL database products from partners such as SurfControl* and N2H2*.
Nsure Audit is an additional logging method. The legacy Common, Extended and Indexed Logging still exist in BorderManager 3.8. However, Nsure Audit has several key advantages, including:
Security---Nsure Audit events are signed and chained, which means that you have forensically viable evidence of all HTTP proxy activity. Nsure Audit guarantees that no log data has been deleted or modified.
Log Data Aggregation---The Nsure Audit Secure Logging Server allows you to collect log data from multiple BorderManager 3.8 proxy servers into one data store. Reports may then be generated that reflect Web activity for an entire organization, not just one server.
Performance---Nsure Audit is very fast and scalable. It allows you to do comprehensive logging with minimal impact on proxy performance. Note: For maximum performance when using Nsure Audit, legacy proxy logging methods should be disabled in NetWare® Administrator.
