Log sources and log formats

McAfee

Content Security Reporter uses log sources to obtain data from log files from a filtering device.

The log files contain web usage data that is used in reports. Choose a specific log format for each log

source to determine how Content Security Reporter processes (also called parsing) the log files.

Content Security Reporter processes the log files and stores the data in a database you set up in

Content Security Reporter.

Log sources overview

When you set up a log source in McAfee Content Security Reporter, you are establishing a way for

Content Securit

y Reporter to obtain the web use data from the log files. The data is then used in reports.

A log source in Content Security Reporter corresponds to a device on your network, such as a McAfee

Web Gateway appliance that captures web filtering data and puts the data in log files. The web

filtering data stored in log files shows data about how people in your organization are using their

access to the web. Data can include the URL for each visited website and the user name of the person

who visited that website. Content Security Reporter then uses this data in its reports.

Log source modes

Use one of the log source modes to obtain log file data from a log source. The mode you select

depends on the ability of your web filtering device to send log files.

When configuring a log source, select one of the available modes or manually import a single log file;

the mode

you select depends on the ability of your web filtering device to send log files

Log files can be collected from:

•

McAfee Web Gateway 6.x (Webwasher)

• McAfee SaaS Web Protection Service
