Recommendations for net monitoring (not filtering) software

[Smoothwall_Christina]

Let us know when Apple punch you in the nose and say 'no' A keystoke App to detect all activity is something we've been shouting for, for years on iPads!

 

It's written in their T & C's they do not allow keystroking Apps.

 

Haha, nicely put Michael. As soon as we have something in place for Ipads we will put the word out there

I look forward to it; I just worry a lot of companies could spend a lot of time/money developing something, only for Apple not to publish it on the App Store.

Hi There,

 

I'm looking for recommendations for software that will monitor and log Internet activity on our network's desktops and iPads. We currently have filtering via SWGfL so I don't need a combined monitoring / filtering solution, just a piece of software that will log Internet activity per device with timestamps and usernames. The iPads are shared devices but each pupil has an iPad number assigned to them so as long as I can identify the date/time I should be able to tell who is using it. I'm happy to listen to different recommendations for PCs and iPads.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

I setup two Squid instances (one for staff and the other for student) here in my district seven years ago and I'm still using them. Squid authenticates against our domain controllers via Kerberos and I use SARG to parse the logs. Got a few other utilities for log monitoring too, but forget the names.

Set up apache httpd as a forwarding proxy. Logging only.

 

Configure router to redirect web traffic through apache.

 

Ensure the IP addresses of devices is well known.

 

Use one of the many log analysis tools to generate reports.

 

(Perhaps run it through PowerBI?)

 

(Why apache not squid? Http1.1 and better support)

Sorry to resurect an older thread...so I take that answer to mean you have no product for the iPad then...?

Hi Brimstone,

 

We currently don't cover iPad, however we do have developments for it in the pipeline.
