ENTERPRISE REPORTER OVERVIEW OPERATIONS  
ENTERPRISE REPORTER OVERVIEW  
Though many companies have Internet filtering solutions to  
prevent employees from accessing inappropriate, non-work  
related Web sites, simply blocking these sites is not enough.  
Administrators want the ability to know who is accessing  
which site, the duration of each site visit, and the frequency  
of these visits. This data can help administrators identify  
abusers, develop policies, and target sites to be filtered, in  
order to maximize bandwidth utilization and productivity.  
The Enterprise Reporter (ER) from 8e6 Technologies is  
designed to readily obtain this information, giving the user  
the ability to interrogate massive datasets through flexible  
drill-down technology, until the desired view is obtained.  
This “view” can then be memorized and saved to a user-  
defined report menu for repetitive, scheduled execution and  
distribution.  
Operations  
In simplified terms, the ER operates as follows: the ER  
Server accepts log files (text files containing Web access  
data) from the 8e6 R3000 Enterprise Filter. 8e6’s proprietary  
programs “normalize” the transferred data and insert them  
into a MySQL database. The ER Client reporting application  
accesses this database to generate a virtually unlimited  
number of queries and reports.

ADMINISTRATOR SECTION CHAPTER 1: ACCESSING THE SERVER  
Chapter 1: Accessing the Server  
Preliminary Network Settings  
To initially set up your ER Server, follow the instructions in  
the R3000IR Quick Start Guide booklet packaged with your  
R3000IR unit. This guide explains how to perform the initial  
configuration of the Server so that it can be accessed via an  
IP address on your network.  
NOTE: If you do not have the R3000IR Quick Start Guide, contact  
8e6 Technologies immediately to have a copy sent to you.  
WARNING: In order to prevent data from being lost or corrupted  
while the Server is running, the Server should be connected to a  
UPS or other battery backup system.  
Procedures for Accessing the Server  
WARNING: Once you turn on the Server, DO NOT interrupt the  
initial boot-up process. This process may take from five to 10  
minutes per drive. If the process is interrupted, damage to key  
files may occur.  
When the Server is fully booted, any workstation on the  
network that can access the Server’s IP address (set up  
during Quick Start procedures) will be able to communicate  
with the Server via the Internet.  
1. Launch Internet Explorer (IE).  
2. In the address line of the IE browser window, type in the  
Server’s IP address appended by the following port  
number:  
• “:88” for an HTTP address  
• “:8843” for an HTTPS address  
For example, if your IP address is 1.2.3.4, type in http://  
1.2.3.4:88 or https://1.2.3.4:8843.

Box Mode screen  
The Box Mode screen displays by default when you first log  
on the Server, or when the Box Mode option is selected from  
the Network menu. (See Figs. 1:2-1 and 1:2-2.) The box  
mode indicates whether the Server box is functioning in the  
“live” mode, or in the “archive” mode. When the box mode  
displays on the screen, you can view the current mode set  
for the Server, and can change this setting, if necessary.  
NOTE: When accessing the Box Mode screen for the first time,  
the ER Status pop-up box opens to inform you that the ER unit is  
currently in the evaluation mode. To continue using the box in the  
evaluation mode, click the “X” in the upper right corner to close  
the pop-up box. (Refer to Appendix A: Evaluation Mode for infor-  
mation on using the Server in the evaluation mode, or for  
changing from this mode to the activated mode.)  
Live Mode  
Once your Server is configured and the Server box is set in  
the “live” mode, it will receive and process real time data  
from the R3000. The Client reporting application can then  
be used to capture data and create views.  
Archive Mode  
In the “archive” mode, the Server box solely functions as a  
receptacle in which historical, archived files are placed. In  
this mode, “old” files placed on the Server can be viewed  
using the Client reporting application.

Backup and Recovery Procedures  
IMPORTANT: 8e6 recommends establishing backup and  
recovery procedures when you first begin using the ER Server.  
Please follow the advice in this section to ensure your ER Server  
is properly maintained in the event that data is lost and back up  
procedures need to be performed to recover data.

ADMINISTRATOR SECTION CHAPTER 2: CONFIGURING THE ER SERVER  
Although automatic backups to a local ER hard drive are  
scheduled nightly by default, it is important that the ER  
administrator implements a backup policy to ensure data  
integrity and continuity in the event of any possible failure  
scenario. This policy should include frequent, remote  
backups, such that raw logs and ER database files are avail-  
able for restoration without relying on the ER’s hard drives.  
In general, recovery plans involve (i) restoring the most  
recent backup of the database, and (ii) restoring raw logs to  
fill in the gap between the most recent backup of the data-  
base, and the current date and time.  
Some scenarios and action plans to consider include the  
following:  
• The ER database becomes corrupted - Correct the  
root problem. Restore the database from the most recent  
ER backup, and reprocess raw logs up to the current  
date and time.  
• The data drive fails - Replace the data drive. Restore  
the database from the ER backup drive, and reprocess  
raw logs up to the current date and time.  
• The backup drive fails - Replace the backup drive, and  
perform a manual backup.  
• Both data and backup drives are damaged - Restore  
the database from the most recent remote backup, and  
reprocess raw logs up to the current date and time.  
As you can see, it is critical that raw logs are available to  
bridge the gap between the last database backup and the  
present time, and more frequent backups (local and remote)  
result in less “catch-up” time required for reprocessing raw  
logs.

ADMINISTRATOR SECTION CHAPTER 2: CONFIGURING THE ER SERVER  
Set up/Edit External Backup FTP Password  
In order to back up the ER Server’s database to a remote  
server, an FTP account must be established for the remote  
server.  
NOTE: In the External Backup FTP Account frame, the login  
name that will be used to access the remote server displays in  
the Username field. This field cannot be edited.  
1. In the Password field, enter up to eight characters for the  
password. The entry in this field is alphanumeric and  
case sensitive.  
2. In the Confirm Password field, re-enter the password in  
the exact format used in the Password field.  
3. Click the Apply button to save your entries. The updated  
Account ID will be activated after two minutes.  
Execute a Manual Backup  
In addition to performing on demand backups in preparation  
for a disaster recovery, you may wish to execute a manual  
backup under the following circumstances:  
• Power outage - If there is a power outage at your facility  
and your system uses a backup battery, you might want  
to back up data before the battery fails.  
• Rolling blackout - If your facility is subjected to rolling  
blackouts, and a blackout is scheduled during the time of  
your daily backup, you should back up your data before  
the blackout period, when the ER Server will be down.  
• Expiration about to occur - If a data expiration is about  
to occur, you might want to back up your data before  
losing the oldest data on the ER Server, prior to the daily  
backup process.  
WARNING: If corrupted data is detected on the ER Server, do not  
backup your data, as you may back up and eventually restore a  
corrupted database.

ADMINISTRATOR SECTION CHAPTER 2: CONFIGURING THE ER SERVER  
When performing a manual backup, the ER’s database is  
immediately saved to the internal backup drive. From the  
remote server, the backup database can be retrieved via  
FTP, and then stored off site.  
TIP: 8e6 recommends executing an on demand backup during  
the lightest period of system usage, so the Server will perform at  
maximum capacity.  
1. Click the Manual Backup button in the Internal Backup/  
Restore Action frame to specify that you wish to back up  
live data to the ER Server’s internal backup drive.  
2. On the Confirm Backup/Restore screen, click the Yes  
button to back up the database tables and indexes.  
WARNING: 8e6 recommends that you do not perform other func-  
tions on the ER Server until the backup is complete. The time it  
will take to complete the backup depends on the size of all tables  
being saved.  
Perform a Remote Backup  
After executing the manual backup, a remote backup can be  
performed on your remote server.  
NOTE: Before beginning this FTP process, be sure you have  
enough space on the remote server for storing backup data. The  
required space can be upwards of 200 gigabytes.  
1. Log in to your FTP account.  
2. Use FTP to download the ER Server’s backup database  
to the remote server. When you are in the /backup/data-  
base/ directory, be sure to get all the *.data files to  
include in your backup. You can then go to the archive  
directory to get all the raw logs to include in your backup.  
3. Store this backup data in a safe place off the remote  
server. If this backup database needs to be restored, it  
can be uploaded to the ER Server via FTP. (See Perform  
a Restoration to the Server.)

ADMINISTRATOR SECTION CHAPTER 2: CONFIGURING THE ER SERVER  
Perform a Restoration to the ER Server  
There are two parts in performing a restoration of data to  
your ER Server. Part one requires data to be loaded on the  
remote server and then FTPed to the ER Server. Part two  
requires the FTPed data to be restored on the ER Server.  
NOTE: Before restoring backup data to the ER Server, be sure  
you have enough space on the ER Server. Data that is restored  
to the ER Server will automatically include indexes.  
Perform these steps on the remote server:  
1. Load the backup data on your remote server.  
2. Log in to your FTP account.  
3. FTP the backup data to the ER Server’s internal backup  
drive.  
On the ER Server’s Backup screen:  
1. Click the Manual Restore button in the Internal Backup/  
Restore Action frame to specify that you wish to over-  
write data on the live ER Server with data from the  
previous, internal backup run.  
2. On the Confirm Backup/Restore screen, click the Yes  
button to restore database tables and indexes to the ER  
Server.  
NOTE: The amount of time it will take to restore data to the ER  
Server depends on the combined size of all database tables  
being restored. 8e6 recommends that you do not perform other  
functions on the ER Server until the restoration is complete.

WARNINGS  
The ER will generate NetBIOS requests outside the network if  
IP.ID is activated and if no segment settings have been specified  
in the configuration of the R3000—causing it to log external  
traffic. To resolve this issue, the R3000 should be modified to log  
activity only within the network. If a firewall is used, it should be  
set up to prevent logging NetBIOS requests outside the network.  
If using IP.ID, note that user login times are established for set  
periods of 15 minutes, and if more than one user logs onto the  
same machine during that time period, the activity on that  
machine will be identified with the first user who logged onto that  
machine. For example, the first user logs on a machine for three  
minutes and then logs off. The second user logs on the same  
machine for 11 minutes and then logs off. The first user logs back  
on that machine for 16 minutes. All 30 minutes are logged as the  
first user’s activity.

Elapsed Time Rules  
Each time a user on the network accesses a Web site, this  
activity is logged as one or more visit(s) to that site. The  
amount of time a user spends on that site and the number of  
times he/she accesses that site is tracked according to the  
following rules:  
A user will be logged as having visited a Web site one  
time if the amount of time spent on any pages at that site  
is equivalent to the value entered at the Elapse Time  
field, or less than that value.  
For example, if the value entered at the Elapse Time field  
is 10 seconds, and if the user is at a site between one to  
10 seconds—on the same page or on any other page  
within the same site—the user’s activity will be tracked  
as one visit to that Web site.  
Each time the user exceeds the value entered at the  
Elapse Time field, the user will be tracked as having  
visited the site an additional time.  
For example, if the value entered at the Elapse Time field  
is 10 seconds and the user remains at a Web site for 12  
seconds, two visits to that site will be logged for him/her.  
Each session at a Web site is tracked as one or more  
visit(s), depending on the duration of the session. A  
session is defined as a user’s activity at a site that begins  
when the user accesses the site and ends when the user  
exits the site.  
For example, if the value entered at the Elapse Time field  
is 10 seconds and the user spends five seconds on a  
Web site, then exits, then returns to the same site for  
another 15 seconds, the user will have two sessions or  
three visits to that site logged for him/her (5 seconds = 1  
visit, 15 seconds = 2 visits, for a total of 3 visits).

that data expires.

ADMINISTRATOR SECTION CHAPTER 2: CONFIGURING THE ER SERVER  
NOTE: Though the database is backed up automatically each  
day, under certain circumstances you may need to perform a  
manual backup to the internal backup drive, and then save this  
data off site. (See the Server Menu Backup screen section for  
information on establishing backup procedures, and backing up  
and restoring data on the ER Server.)  
Expiration Screen Terminology  
The following terminology is used on the Expiration screen:  
• Live - pertains to indexed data on the hard drive of the  
Server for the most recent weeks—the period designated  
as “live.” Indexed data includes pages and objects that  
were accessed by users on the Internet, as well as the  
indexes for these items.  
When setting up the Server to store data, 8e6 recom-  
mends that you allocate the highest percentage possible  
for live data storage, since reports run faster if indexes  
are available for pages and objects.  
If your Server is set up to store live data only (100  
percent live data), you will be able to store less data than  
if you store both live and archive data, since indexes  
require additional storage space.  
• Archive - pertains to non-indexed data on the hard drive  
of the Server for the oldest weeks—the period desig-  
nated as “archive.” Non-indexed data might include  
pages and/or objects that were accessed by users on the  
Internet.  
Since archive data contain no indexes, they occupy less  
space on the Server than live data—which include  
indexes and pages/objects. However, reports generated  
for periods of time with archive data take longer to  
process since indexes are not included for that data.

ADMINISTRATOR SECTION CHAPTER 2: CONFIGURING THE ER SERVER  
• Expire - pertains to the action of dropping data from the  
Server when there is no room left on the hard drive for  
additional storage. When the hard drive reaches its  
maximum data storage capacity, indexes from the oldest  
week of data stored on the Server are dropped, or  
“expired” from the Server. Thereafter, when more space  
is needed on the Server, the oldest week of non-indexed  
data “expires.”  
Expiration Rules  
The administrator of the Server specifies the number of  
weeks of data that will be stored on the Server, based on the  
storage capacity of the hard drive, and the number of hits on  
the Server. After inputting the percentage of live data to be  
stored, the Server translates that figure into the equivalent  
of weekly time periods for live and/or archive data storage.  
When the Server reaches the maximum number of weeks  
allocated for live data storage, the oldest week of live data  
stored on the Server attains an archive data status. In  
attaining an archive data status, the index for that week of  
data is dropped from the database tables.  
When the Server reaches its maximum number of weeks  
allocated for archive data storage, the oldest week of non-  
indexed data stored on the Server is automatically dropped  
(expired) from the database.  
Once data expires, it cannot be recovered.

ADMINISTRATOR SECTION CHAPTER 2: CONFIGURING THE ER SERVER  
TIP: 8e6 recommends that you set up your Server to store more  
live data than archive data for the benefit of administrators and  
sub-administrators who generate reports via the Client applica-  
tion. Report processing times are slower when generating reports  
that include non-indexed data.  
If your Server is set up to store only live data, you will be able to  
store less data than if you store both live and archive data, since  
indexes require additional storage space.

APPENDICES SECTION APPENDIX A  
APPENDICES SECTION  
Appendix A  
Evaluation Mode  
By default, the ER Server and Client are set to the evalua-  
tion mode. This appendix explains how to use the ER  
Server in the evaluation mode, and how to activate the ER  
Server to function in the activated mode.  
Administrator Console  
After logging on the Server, the ER Status pop-up box  
opens to inform you that the ER unit is currently in the eval-  
uation mode:  
Fig. A-1 ER Status pop-up box  
The Server will store data for the period specified in the pop-  
up box: “EVALUATION MODE - MAX DATA STORAGE ‘X’  
WEEKS”—in which ‘X’ represents the maximum number of  
weeks in the ER’s data storage scope.

APPENDICES SECTION APPENDIX A  
You have the option to either use the ER unit in the evalua-  
tion mode, or change the evaluation mode in one of two  
ways—by extending the evaluation period, or by activating  
the unit so that it can be used in the activated mode.  
NOTE: The message: “EVALUATION MODE - MAX DATA  
STORAGE ‘X’ WEEKS” also displays at the top of the Expiration  
screen in the Administrator console. Refer to the Expiration

APPENDICES SECTION APPENDIX A  
When the Server is in the evaluation mode, the following  
message displays at the top of the screen: “Evaluation  
Mode – Max Data Storage ‘X’ Weeks” (in which ‘X’ repre-  
sents the maximum number of weeks in the ER’s data  
storage scope).  
Since the evaluation period is set for a fixed time period, you  
cannot make adjustments to the amount of data that will be  
stored on the Server. Thus, the Save button is not included  
at the bottom of the screen.  
Change the Evaluation Mode  
After the designated evaluation period has expired, you may  
extend your evaluation period, or activate the unit and use it  
in the activated mode. There are two ways to change the  
evaluation mode from the Administrator console:  
• in the ER Status pop-up box (see Fig. A-1), click Change  
Evaluation Mode  
• in the Evaluation screen, click the link (“here”) in the  
message at the top of the screen: “Please click here to
