Better reporting?

Hello,

In the past Astaro/ Sophos had a third party software call ARM, used for deep forensic reporting. unfortunately support was discontinued after Astaro 8.0. [:@]  Does any one know if Sophos is going to be replacing or have anything coming to replace this?  I'm currently using Splunk but its Extremely costly for licensing for more than the daily free 500Mb limit. believe me that 500Mb daily limit is chewed up fast. For what Splunk is charging, its totally not viable for us. The basic reporting built into the our ASG 425 is totally inadequate. honestly Sophos  should drop the reporting within the appliance and focus on the primary intentions of the appliance and leave the reporting to third party vendor software that is made to work seamlessly with the appliance like in the past  Bring back the ARM reporting Please! 

Would be great to hear other peoples thoughts on this issue.

Thanks

  • Personally,

    I'm pretty happy with the reporting as it is. The internal reporting is not super detailed but it does what I need.

    For 3rd party reporting the UTM has decent enough support. There's netFlow/IPFIX for monitoring traffic flows, SNMP support, and it supports exporting log files to a remote system, through file transfer or syslog.

    Out of curiosity, what did ARM do that isn't available through those other facilities?
