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.

Applies to:
  • Forcepoint Email Security, v8.5.x

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.
