Install Web Log Server

Log Server is a Windows-only component that logs Internet request data, including:

• Source of request
• Category or protocol associated with the request
• Whether the request was permitted or blocked
• Whether keyword blocking, file type blocking, quota allocations, bandwidth levels, or password protection were applied

Each Log Server instance can log to only one Log Database at a time, and only one Log Server can be installed for each Policy Server.

Log Server processing can consume considerable system resources.

In a software-based deployment, do not install Log Server on the same machine as Filtering Service or Network Agent—policy enforcement or logging performance may be affected if they are on the same machine.

In an appliance-based deployment, Log Server must be installed on a separate Windows machine.
