Log Processing

Log Processing is an optional function used for export of DrawBridge filtering logs to an external web traffic log analysis service.

For example, a device is filtered by the DrawBridge, which logs all the web traffic of that device. Then, on a schedule, the DrawBridge can upload those web traffic logs to a separate log analysis/Reporter server for additional operations to be performed.

Important Note: The Log Processor system is inactive unless the following two conditions are met:

  • A Log Server is configured. (See below)
  • A Log Server Account Number is configured on one or more Company records. See
