Getting Started
Using IDM as a Monitoring Tool
2-16
the IDM agent will look for the RADIUS attribute in the supplicant's
authentication request and act accordingly, applying the defined access
rule based on the endpoint integrity system response.
2.
To collect information about user logins and logouts, check the Enable
User session accounting checkbox. This box must be checked if you want
to collect data for user logins and bandwidth usage, which is used for the
Bandwidth and User reports.
3.
To generate user session start and stop events and display them in the IDM
Events list, check the Generate Session Start and Stop Events box. This
option does not affect accounting or collection of session history and
statistical information. Turning this option off will reduce the load on your
IDM server and the GUI by eliminating two-thirds of the events created
for every user login and logout.
4.
To reset all session accounting information whenever the server is
restarted, check the Reset accounting statistics when the management server
starts box. When this option is selected, IDM closes any open sessions and
resets the RADIUS Server totals to zero when the server restarts.
If the status of users—logged on or off—seems incorrect, it is possible
that the session accounting is out of sync. Use the Reset accounting
statistics option to correct the problem. This immediately closes any open
sessions (this has no effect on the user, only on the IDM accounting), and
resets user login counts on the RADIUS server to zero.
Existing accounting records are not removed by the Reset procedures, the
only effect is that currently open sessions are closed.
5.
To ignore capability override warnings generated by switches that don't
support certain capabilities (e.g., VLAN, QoS, Bandwidth, and ACL over-
rides), check the Ignore device capability warnings checkbox.
To send only those attributes supported by the device, check the Only send
6.
supported device attributes to device checkbox.
7.
If you wish to archive accounting records older than a specified time
period, uncheck the Disable session archiving box, and set the desired
archival time period in the Archive user sessions older than x days field.
8. To archive the user session archive file in a location other than the default
IDM data archive directory, type the desired path in the Archive file directory
field. The default path is:
C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\PNM\server\idm\data
