3.41 MyView

With the possibility of millions of address pools, blocks, domains, resource records and infrastructure
objects, the amount of data in the VitalQIP database can become quite unwieldy for administrators who
need to perform their daily tasks efficiently. MyView Hierarchy Management enables a master or
organization administrator to define and set up views of the system that have a narrower scope, views that
can then be assigned to one or more normal administrators, and thereby allow them to focus on their daily
activities and only the infrastructure items for which they are responsible.

ADDITIONAL PRODUCT FEATURES

Historically, VitalQIP has offered a number of different modules that were sperate from the core product.
With VitalQIP 7.2, a number of those modules have been packaged with the core product – such as
AutoDiscovery and Address Allocation to provide more value-add functionality. A few modules are still
kept separate. This section describes the these additional modules add-on applications that are available
with VitalQIP. These add-ons are certified to operate in conjunction with VitalQIP.

4.1 VitalQIP Audit Manager Module

Audit Manager is an application that tracks DHCP lease information, VitalQIP static and dynamic object
definitions, and Domain Controller login/logout information. (A domain controller is a system dedicated
to processing user authentication for Windows domains) The information captured and collected can be
audited using the graphical user interface. Audit Manager also has the capability to generate alerts when
an IP address, Media Access Control (MAC) address, and/or hostname have been used. Audit Manager is
not dependent upon VitalQIP, but it does rely on VitalQIP for information about static and dynamic
objects. It can be used with other DHCP Servers and messaging devices, such as the Windows Primary
Domain Controller (refer to Microsoft's web site, http://www.microsoft.com/, for more information).
Components of Audit Manager can run on both UNIX and Windows platforms, except the Audit Manager
graphical user interface and the VitalQIP Domain Controller Logon Audit Service. The graphical user
interface runs on Windows 2000/2003/XP, and the VitalQIP Domain Controller Logon Audit Service
naturally runs only on a Domain Controller, i.e., Windows 2000/2003.
Audit Manager collects, accesses, and manages data from VitalQIP, DHCP Servers, and Domain
Controllers by:
•
Collecting and auditing DHCP lease information; such as an IP address a DHCP lease has
given.
•
Collecting and auditing VitalQIP ® static and dynamic object definitions. Object definitions
include user information, billing information, and other types of information associated with an
object.
•
Collecting and auditing Domain Controller login/logout information.
•
Generating alerts when an IP address, hostname, of MAC address has been used.
•
Searching a database for data that has been collected and/or archived.
•
Generating auditing reports.
