Configuring Access Logging with FileZilla Client Logs for Symantec Reporter Deployments

Symantec Reporter deployments rely heavily on proper sizing to ensure seamless data processing. When it comes to uploading access log files, FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is the recommended protocol by Symantec. In this article, we will focus on configuring access logging using the FileZilla client logs for ProxySG devices.

One of the key benefits of using FTP for access log uploads is its ability to keep the data in a raw format. This allows for easy restoration or re-importation of the logs if needed. Additionally, FTP provides the best options for uploading and managing access log files.

To get started with configuring access logging on a ProxySG device, you can follow these steps:

1. Create a new profile using FileZilla to connect to your FTP server.

2. Recreate profiles as necessary to ensure proper configuration for your specific setup.

3. Send the data into Symantec Technical Support if needed.

Once you have configured your FileZilla client logs, you can upload the files to an FTP server and then process them using Symantec Reporter. The access log file is discarded after being imported into the Symantec Reporter database.

It's worth noting that ProxySG devices support various protocols for uploading access logs, including FTP. However, this article specifically focuses on configuring access logging using FileZilla client logs.

For full details on setting up access logging to Reporter, including other options, refer to the Symantec Reporter 10.x Deployment Guide. This comprehensive guide provides step-by-step instructions and additional information on configuring access logging for your specific deployment needs.

By following the steps outlined in this article, you can quickly get access logging and reporting up and running on your ProxySG device using FileZilla client logs. Whether you're looking to improve performance or troubleshoot issues, proper configuration of access logging is essential for getting the most out of your Symantec Reporter deployment.
