Status: offline 		What's new in GFI EventsManager 7.1?
 
The GFI EventsManager 7.1 WAN Connector & Database Operations is a complete re-development of the WAN Connector available with GFI LANguard Security Event Log Monitor 5. This new add-on boasts the following new features:
  • Improved reliability: This new add-on does not require a target SQL Server to be available during events data transfer since data is transferred from source to destination as a binary file. In addition the file export/import system is equipped with an algorithm which checks whether the data transfer has been successfully completed or not. 
  • Database backup capabilities: The WAN Connector & Database Operations add-on allows users to:
    • Backup or move events to an offline database. 
    • Export events data to compressed binary files. These binary files not only consume very little storage space but can also be optionally encrypted for security and legal compliancy reason.

  • Greater flexibility: 
    • The WAN Connector & Database Operations add-on is not limited to one destination database backend. Users can export events to multiple binary files as well as specify the destination folder(s) where these files will be located.
    • The events data export and import functions are carried out in 2 distinct operations/sessions. After an export to file operation has been completed, users can choose to immediately proceed with the import operation or else schedule this activity for later. 
    • The WAN Connector & Database Operations add-on allows the configuration of default/custom filters that define which data will be exported or imported from a backup file.

  • Wider compatibility: The WAN Connector & Database Operations add-on is no longer dependent on Data Transformation Services technology to transfer events data from a remote site to a central location. Events data is now exported to a compressed binary file, and can be converted/imported to any required/supported database format (not necessarily SQL Server format) at destination.
  • Higher savings: 
    • Less Storage space – As opposed to a database, binary files require less physical storage space. The WAN Connector & Database Operations add-on allows user to exports events to a compressed binary file which reduces events data storage requirements by 98%. 
    • Bandwidth – Since binary files are smaller in size than database files, less bandwidth is require to transfer events data over the WAN.

The new version, GFI EventsManager 7 boasts the following set of new and updated features:
  • Support for SYSLOG messages and W3C format logs. This allows users to collect events from environments running both Windows and Linux operating systems as well as from all hardware and software that can generate Windows events, Syslog messages and W3C events. These including devices such as firewalls, routers,  PABXs, access control systems, finger-print and biometric readers and more. NOTE: Work is presently underway to include support for custom Windows Event Logs in future builds.
  • Totally rebuilt user-interface which groups together configuration, monitoring, processing and browsing of events into a single user-friendly console!
  • Equal event processing abilities for all event sources supported.
  • Support for computer profiles, which allow grouping of computers and definition of log/event management at group level!
  • Simplified start-up configuration through the use of a Quick Start Dialog.
  • Highly improved speed for event collection!
  • Multithreaded event collection support.
  • Event processing dashboard, through which you can monitor your hardware and software activity network-wide.
  • Support for multiple monitoring views, which also include graphical representations of the event collection and processing status of GFI EventsManager.
  • Added support for new alerting options (multiple SMS engines, multiple email servers, definition of users and groups, etc.)
  • Ships with a state of the art reporting tool which uses GFI ReportCenter technology. This dedicated reporting tool includes a dedicated pack of reports – the GFI EventsManager ReportPack which includes reports specifically tailored to present the information collected by GFI EventsManager in a clear and printer friendly fashion.

Status: offline 		Changes within build 20061214:
  • Added “Kerberos events - Windows 2000 Domain” and “Kerberos events - Windows 2003 Domain” groups of rules which will enable monitoring for the Kerberos events differently for windows 2000 and windows 2003 domains. The groups were added under the “Security node” of the “Windows event logs” rules configuration tree.
  • Added “Kerberos system events” and “Kerberos Key Distribution Center system events” groups of rules which enable monitoring the Kerberos system events and KDC system events under the “System health” node of the “Windows event logs” rules configuration tree.
  • Added the “Windows 2003 Domain Controllers” and “Windows 2000 Domain Controllers” computer groups which replace the original “Domain Controllers” group to cater for the differences between the Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 domains. Added the new Kerberos related rules to these groups, along with the ones which were originally in the “Domain Controllers” group.
  • Modified the “Ignore events generated by the system” rule under the “Noise reduction” group so that it does not ignore Kerberos events.
