Web Filter, Web Security, and Web Security Gateway (Anywhere), v7.7.x
Web Security Log Server is a Windows-only component that logs Internet request data, including:
*
Source of request
*
Category or protocol associated with the request
*
Whether the request was permitted or blocked
*
Whether keyword blocking, file type blocking, quota allocations, bandwidth levels, or password protection were applied
Each Log Server instance can log to only one Log Database at a time, and only one Log Server can be installed for each Policy Server.
Log Server processing can consume considerable system resources.
In a software-based deployment, do not install Log Server on the same machine as Filtering Service or Network Agent—filtering or logging performance may be affected if they are on the same machine.
In a Websense appliance-based deployment, Log Server must be installed on a separate Windows machine.
Special considerations
To be able to install Web Security Log Server, a supported database engine (see Reporting database requirements) must be running.
 
* 
Note 
Web Security Log Server must be installed before you can see charts on the Status > Dashboard page, or run presentation or investigative reports in TRITON - Web Security.
After installing Log Server, stop and restart the Websense TRITON - Web Security and Websense Web Reporting Tools services on the management server machine.
 
* 
Important 
When Web Security Log Server is not installed on the TRITON management server, be sure to stop and restart the services mentioned above before creating scheduled jobs in presentation reports. Any scheduled jobs you create before restarting the services cannot be saved properly and will be lost, even if they appear to work for a period of time.
