Configuration of Audit Collection Services

Hello,
can someone point me to some documentation for Audit Collection Services that will explain how to get a handle on the events collected?
I am aware of adtadmin /setquery and also of the location in the registry that the query is stored in on ACS servers. However, I am looking for guidance on how to manage this for different types of servers. Ideally, I want to filter the events that are forwarded
to the audit collection server at the source, so that events that I do not want collected are not even sent to the ACS server. This configuration would differ from server to server- for example, on DC's I would want account management events, failure authentication
events etc, versus a ADFS server where I would care about tokens issued etc.
thanks and regards,
-Ravi

Hello Yan Li,
Thank you for the response. The links do not have the information I need however. I found a lot of blogs explaining how to set up ACS, however none of them address -
- can I specify different filters for different computers / group of computers so that I can collect different events from say, an exchange server versus a file server? Can the setup have just one query, or can it use multiple queries? Are these stored in
the ACSConfig.xml OR in the registry OR both? If you are using the warm standby method with replication of the ACSConfig.xml as detailed in
http://blogs.technet.com/b/neharris/archive/2011/03/22/acs-forwarders-and-high-availability-part-1.aspx , do you also have to replicate the registry settings as well?
- I know that can create / list / delete groups using adtadmin. But what is the purpose of the groups? How do I populate these groups with forwarders? Can I assign a query to extract event ID's of interest per group?
- Can I configure any sort of event throttling at the forwarder itself, so that I am not bogging down the collector with unnecessary noise?
I have been able to do all the above with other event log collection systems I have worked with in the past. Getting an handle on the events collected is one of the most important items in log collection, otherwise you end up with a system that cannot keep
up. However I have not been able to find any documentation / blogs that address any of the above. The documentation simply covers setup and the parameters for adtadmin, but none of the concepts I am wondering about above..

  • SCOM 2012 R2 Audit Collection Service

    Hi,
    We have 2 management servers in one datacenter and 2 gateway servers in another datacenter. We are planning to implement audit collection service. Can we have single ACS collector in one datacenter to collect logs from all servers ( approx 1000 servers)
    if port 51909 is open from all servers or do we need seperate ACS collector in each datacenter and dedicated ACS database?where can I have ACS collector and dedicated database?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Getting information about configured(webservices.xml) web service handlers

    Hi Guys, The situation is: In a Web Service, I have few GenericHandlers configured as server(Role) in webservices.xml(for IBM Runtime) & server-config.wsdd(Axis Runtime). Say the handlers are A, B & C. Now, when there is a inbound call A,B & C are getting invoked as expected.
    I am basically lookin for a way to know (programmatically) the # of handler configured for this web service i.e., 3 in this case and few other handler specific details.
    I was investigating getting hold hold of HandlerChain by following way
    HandlerRegistry hndlReg = service.getHandlerRegistry(); List hChain = hndlReg.getHandlerChain(new QName("http://test.com","PortName"));
    , but I dont get hChain containing information about A,B or C. Ya, here I can add Handlers programmetically which gets invoked also. But no information of already configured handlers in configuration files.
    Is there any way(programmetically) to get the details about already configured handlers.
    Appreciating your help.

    Please help ....

  • Configuring the Task Gateway Service: Web Service Config = Single Service Config?

    Hello,
    I am following the steps of the SAP NW GTW 2.0 SP06 configuration guide, and am a bit stuck on the section Configuring the Task Gateway Service. In step 3, we are instructed to choose the option Single Service Configuration. However, I don't see this option. I do see option Web Service Configuration and when I choose it, I am able to continue with the rest of the steps of the documentation.
    Am I missing an option here or does the documentation just need to be updated where Single Service Configuration should read Web Service Configuration?
    Thanks!

    Hi everyone,
    We have P6 with first WS deployed on a single server weblogic domain. The first WS return data from the first database instance.
    Then deployed advanced second WS on a separate weblogic domain server with a different port. Configured second WS with <WS2_INSTALL_HOME>/bin/dbconfig.sh, creating a new branch of a configuration that specifies a different second instance of the database. However, this configuration is ignored and second web services return data from the first database.

    OK, so I got this to work this morning with Username Token Profile (with little help from Oracle Support).
    I followed your steps 1-4 but in step 2 I didn't add the -Ddatabase.instance=2 because I want to check to see if my code could swap between different instances.
    It appears for Username Token Profile to use Database Instance, you need to set it in the soap header.
    So my soap request looks like this:

  • How to configure a audit in global zone that will audit all the zone

    Hi everyone,
    Please i want you guy to help me out on how i can configure an audit for my global zone that we audit all the zones that i have in global zone.
    I have a global zone , and i have like four zones under it, so i dont know how to configure a BSM audit for the global zone that we audit for all the zones.
    I will appreciate your swift response.
    Thanks and Regards.
    Ladi

    Most of the time each zone is treated as a separate server. This is my experience others might do it differently. All logs can then be sent to a log server and you will know that about the zone errors because the zone has a zone and/or host name. You can also login to the zone and check the logs there as well.
    The link below is for book from a guy who is much smarter then me. Read the security chapter.

    Hi,
    Please let me know how to Configure Registry for enterprise services in  SAP Discover system V2.
    Regards,
    Naveen

    I'm afraid it's a bit more complicated than adding a server into the list in Step 3 :)
    When a DirectAccess client is connecting into a corporate network that is IPv4 (I assume yours is, most are), it can reach into your IPv4 servers because the DA server is doing NAT64/DNS64 translations, turning all of your DirectAccess IPv6 packets into
    IPv4 packets before they head inside the network. But even though this happens in the background without you really knowing about it, the key thing there is that all DirectAccess traffic is IPv6. This means the clients can only be contacted via IPv6. If you
    have IPv6 inside your network, then you can route outbound fairly easily to your DA client computers. If you are all IPv4 inside as most companies are, then you have to either roll IPv6 out inside your network, at least partially, or you have to utilize ISATAP
    inside your network in order to create a sort of "virtual IPv6 cloud" that runs on top of your IPv4 internal network. This enables your internal management systems (like the BMC servers and helpdesk computers for RDP access outbound) to have a connection
    into the IPv6 world, which then enables them some routing capability to get out to the IPv6-connected DA clients. In addition to this IPv6 or ISATAP setup, you also need to configure WFAS rules on the DA clients so that they will allow this traffic.
    There is some info on setting up ISATAP here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/jasonjones/archive/2013/04/19/limiting-isatap-services-to-directaccess-manage-out-clients.aspx
    Otherwise one of the chapters in this book is also dedicated to the setup of a selective ISATAP environment, to be used for the purposes of DirectAccess outward management: https://www.packtpub.com/virtualization-and-cloud/microsoft-directaccess-best-practices-and-troubleshooting

  • Configuration Change Audit Report in Prime Infrastructure 2.1

    Is there any plan to implement a Configuration Change Audit report in future releases of Prime Infrastructure (ie. 2.2)?  When I go into the Reporting area and run a Change Audit report under the Compliance section it doesn't give me any information in regards to configuration changes, only inventory changes.  There are managers who would like the ability to receive an e-mailed report of configuration changes within a 24 hours period.  Currently the only way I can tell that you can get this information is by logging into Cisco Prime and going to Network Audit under Operation / Device Work Center.
    Thanks,
    Brian

    Configuration Change Management (with Baseline Compliance reporting) is projected for the next release after 2.2. As of now that's projected to be ca. April 2015.
    On a side note, last I heard, 2.2 should be out in the next couple of weeks.

  • After installing and configuring Workflow Manager and Service Bus, I'm getting 403.

    I've spent the day installing SharePoint 2013 on a Windows Server 2012 environment. This server is not the domain controller. Following instructions on how to install and configure Workflow Manager and service bus, it appears although I'm following the instructions
    (and I get no errors), something is not working.
    If I try to go to the website that it creates in IIS
    http://localhost:12291 I get a 403 error. Also if I perform the powershell query to get the port number "Get-WFFarm | ft WFMgmtHttpPort" I don't get any value returned to me.
    Until I validate that the Workflow Manager is installed and working, I will not attempt to pair it to the SharePoint 2013 farm. Which hopefully makes this a Workflow Manager question not a SharePoint issue.
    Can anyone offer any suggestions please? Should I even get a valid webpage if I hit localhost:12291? According to one walkthrough I've looked at I should get an XML display of workflow and security configurations.

    I experienced the same two issues mentioned in this thread today.
    Regarding  the proper XML not appearing at <workflowhost>:12291 I was experiencing the same with an error message in Chrome saying the caller lacked read permissions, and 403 in IE. I had checked IIS, database permissions and connections and more.
    All of the setup messages and status checks were a-okay. I voted Zimo's comment as helpful because it cued me in to examine the service in Central Administration - where I found there was no administrator assigned to the workflow service. As soon as that was
    done, the workflow host site was brows-able.
    The resolution to SharePoint Designer not offering 2013 workflows as an option was in my case that there was an additional WFE on which I had not installed the Workflow Manager
    Client. This is noted with a bright yellow box in the section about configuring workflow with HTTP here:
