Configurations for ER Reporting:

When configuring the Web Filter to be used with an ER unit, the following procedures must be completed in order for the ER to receive logs from the Web Filter.

Entries in the Web Filter Administrator Console

1. Choose Reporting > Report Configuration to display the Report Configuration window.
2. At the Export field, click the checkbox corresponding to M86 Enterprise Reporter.
3. Click Save.
4. In the Log File Transfer Configuration frame, enter the LAN 1 IP address assigned to the ER Server.
5. Click Add to include this IP address in the Remote Server list box.

NOTE: To perform a log transfer on demand, click Initiate.

TIP: To remove this IP address from the list box, select it and click Remove.

6. After the ER has been configured, and logs have been transferred from the Web Filter to the ER, click the Log tab to view transfer activity.
7. On the Log tab, click View Log to view up to the last 300 lines of transfer activity in the View Log frame.

NOTE: It is recommended you wait one to two hours after the initial configuration so sufficient data is available for viewing.
