Introduction to Logs

The IWSVA database stores all log data, but log data can also be stored in text log files for backward compatibility with previous IWSVA versions or used with an external reporting tool. Storing the log data in text log files provides redundancy to verify that the database is properly updated. Trend Micro recommends using the database as the only storage location for log data.

Log are categorized by log type, and are mapped or grouped as follows:

• Bandwidth

• Policy Enforcement

• Internet Access

• Internet Security

• Data Security

• Access Control
