Monitoring, logging, auditing and alert options
Opengear's console server solutions provide a selection of audit and alert management facilities. The auditing and tracking helps the organization conform to mandatory compliance requirements like Sarbanes-Oxley, GLBA and HIPAA. The alarm and notification facilities ensure administrators are advised of potential and actual problems.
Each IMG/IM/CM/SD4000 console server can maintain a record of all accesses to the gateway, and all communications with the serially managed devices they are controlling. The IM/IMG4000 lines also can log access and communications with network attached devices:
- Port logs can be maintained locally or on a remote server (or on the USB flash with IM/IMG4000)
- When configuring Serial ports, and the Network ports that will be used to connect to hosts, you can activate and set the desired level of logging for each port
- The Alert facility monitors the ports and emails alerts when specified activity events occur
- A log of all system activity is also maintained
These facilities are extended when the console servers are used in a SDT Nagios environment which provides extended alarming and notification mechanisms.
