Though many companies have Internet filtering solutions to
prevent employees from accessing inappropriate, non-work
related Web sites, simply blocking these sites is not enough.
Administrators want the ability to know who is accessing
which site, the duration of each site visit, and the frequency
of these visits. This data can help administrators identify
abusers, develop policies, and target sites to be filtered, in
order to maximize bandwidth utilization and productivity.
The Enterprise Reporter (ER) from 8e6 Technologies is
designed to readily obtain this information, giving the user
the ability to interrogate massive datasets through flexible
drill-down technology, until the desired view is obtained.
This "view" can then be memorized and saved to a user-
defined report menu for repetitive, scheduled execution and
distribution.

Operations

In simplified terms, the ER operates as follows: the ER
Server accepts log files (text files containing Web access
data) from the 8e6 R3000 Enterprise Filter. 8e6's proprietary
programs "normalize" the transferred data and insert them
into a MySQL database. The ER Client reporting application
accesses this database to generate a virtually unlimited
number of queries and reports.
