Sophos Central Web History

Is Sophos Central capable of collecting and reporting detailed user or computer web activity?  Not just blocked sites or policy violations, but all websites visited in a specified time or date range?  Thanks.

  • Hello  

    For Sophos Central Endpoint, the events Report in Central would only list policy violations.

  • You can log it at the client (%ProgramData%\Sophos\Web Intelligence\Logs\) with a registry key addition but for centralised I think you'd need to use XG/UTM.

    Would at the client help you at all?

  • Jak,

    This would definitely come in handy for certain situations, would you mind sharing the pertinent registry key or point me at some documentation?

    The violation only logging has been a problem for us after conversion from Central from SEC\SWA which was a great platform and hard to lose... 

     

    TIA!

  • To enable local logging, under:

    64-bit:
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Sophos\Web Intelligence\

    32-bit:
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Sophos\Web Intelligence\

    ...so you need to disable Tamper first, you can create a few DWORD values:

    • DecisionLogChannels
    • DecisionLogMaxBytes
    • DecisionLogMaxDays

    The last 2 are optional if you're happy with the current retention but to log all traffic, DecisionLogChannels can be set to 15 decimal.

    The log file is tab separated and the swi_service.exe will pick up the new keys automatically in a few seconds.

    Regards,

    Jak

  • Thanks much!  I appreciate it!
