Log Server collects Internet usage information and stores it in the Log Database for use in investigative reports, presentation reports, and the charts and summaries on the Dashboard page in the Forcepoint Security Manager.
With v8.5.4, Log Server moves the data to a specific folder for processing by the Cloud App Service.
Log Server must be installed for reporting to occur.
