Log consolidation settings
To configure DeviceLock Enterprise Server as a remote server that would be forwarding its logs to the central collection server, use the Log consolidation parameter in DeviceLock Enterprise Server > Server Options in the DeviceLock Management Console connected to the remote server. The Properties command on this parameter opens a dialog box with the following settings:
Consolidation server - The name or IP address of the computer running the central collection DeviceLock Enterprise Server. Only one computer can be specified in this field.
Set Credentials - Opens a dialog box to configure authentication between the remote server and central collection server. For details, see Configuring authentication.
Schedule - The following options are used to configure the schedule of sending logs from this server to the central collection server:
Hourly - Choose the date and time to start sending the logs and the recurrence interval. For example, an interval of 1 produces an hourly schedule and an interval of 2 produces an every-other-hour schedule. The remote server will send the logs each hour.
Daily - Choose the date and time to start sending the logs and the recurrence interval. For example, an interval of 1 produces a daily schedule and an interval of 2 produces an every-other-day schedule. The remote server will send the logs at the specified time each day.
Weekly - Choose the date and time to start sending the logs, the days of the week on which to send the logs, and the recurrence interval. For example, an interval of 1 produces a weekly schedule and an interval of 2 produces an every-other-week schedule. The remote server will send the logs at the specified time on each of the specified days.
Monthly - Choose the months in which to send the logs and the weeks of the month and the days of the week for each month in which to send the logs. This option can also be configured to send the logs on a certain last day of each month.
Stop data transfer after <number> hours / days - When this check box is selected, the transfer of the logs stops in the lapse of the specified time after it starts, even if the remote server did not manage to transfer all the log data it has. Data that has not been transferred is stored on the remote server for sending during the next scheduled transfer of logs.
Logs - Select the check box next to the name of each of the logs to transfer to the central collection server. The remote server will forward only the selected logs.
Consolidation Mode - The following options specify whether consolidation moves or just copies log data:
Full - The log records transferred to the central collection server are deleted from the remote server. The Shadow log records are permanently deleted, without retaining their copies in the Deleted Shadow Data log on the remote server.
Copy - The log records transferred to the central collection server remain in the logs on the remote server.
File names only - This check box only affects the transfer of shadow copy data. When this check box is selected, file names are transferred from the Shadow log to the central collection server, and the files themselves and other shadow copy data remain only on the remote server.
 
Note:  
Switching synchronization mode from Copy to Full deletes from the remote server the log records that were earlier copied to the central collection server.
When switching synchronization mode from Copy | File names only to Full, the missing files and data are copied to the central collection server and then those files and data are deleted from the remote server.
Traffic Priority - The following options specify whether to limit the network bandwidth utilization for transmitting log data to the central collection server:
High - Do not limit the utilization of the network bandwidth.
Medium - Utilize at most 50% of the network bandwidth.
Low - Utilize at most 20% of the network bandwidth.
Advanced Settings - Opens a dialog box to configure retries of data exchange in case of failure in the communication channel between the consolidation servers. For details, see Retry parameters.
Test Connection - Click this button to check if the remote server with the current settings can establish a connection to the central collection server. If the connection fails, an error message appears describing the cause of the failure. Otherwise, a message box appears indicating the connection is successfully established.
