Email Log Server

Log Server is the Windows-only component that receives log records and processes them into the Log Database for use in reporting.

For information about version compatibility, see the Version Equivalencies Between Forcepoint DLP and EIP Infrastructure/Web/Email Components.

Placement

Log Server must be installed on a Windows machine—typically on the Forcepoint management server. It may not be installed on the Forcepoint Email Security appliance.

Special considerations

To be able to install Log Server, a supported database engine (see System requirements for this version) must be running.

If you install Log Server on a machine separate from the Forcepoint Security Manager, stop and restart the Websense TRITON - Email Security service after installation. This service is on the Forcepoint management server.
