Hi Anna,
Thanks for posting here. Also thanks for Avanwey's input.
From your description, I understand that you want to know how to filternormal security network traffic to clean the stuff in security logs. If I
am off base, please don't hesitate to let me know.
As Avanwey said, we usually use Filter function in Event Viewer to clean
the view of the logs. You can do as follows:
1. Open Event Viewer (eventvwr.msc) console, right click Security item in
the left panel to choose View -> Filter.. to open the Security properties
page.
2. Under Filter tab, you can Uncheck the checkboxes "Information", "Success
audit" "Warning" as you needed to clean the viewer so that you can easily
find the information you need.
3. And also you can specify the exact Event source, category, Event id,
user, computer to filter information you needed. You can set different
filter conditions every time for different aim. The process can not affect
the true security log file. And we can not customize the log file such as
recorded interval, event source, category and so on in event viewer since
the log files are created for trouble shooting aim by administrators and
Microsoft engineers.
Is the server box running on the SBS 2003 server? If yes, you can use the
monitoring component to create customized server performance report and
server status report for you to monitor the server to ensure the server
running under stable status and notify you if there is any critical errors
happens on the server. You can get detail information about the monitoring
component by searching in Help and Support center.
You can find the monitoring component in Server Management console ->
Monitoring and Reporting, click Set up Monitoring Reports and Alerts to
configure performance and usage settings. The component will take about 24
hours to collect data to create reports.
More information:
================
The usage information for internet activity contained in the server usage
report includes the following information:
-- Internet Activity Web Activity by Computer.
The total and average daily hours a client computer was connected to the
Internet during the reporting period.
--Web Traffic by Hour.
The total and average daily number of connections made by all client
computers, by hour, during the reporting period.
Hope above information helps. Please let me know if you have further
question on the issue. I am happy to be of assistance to you and look
forward to your reply.
Have a nice day!
Sincerely,
Jenny Wu
