The current version of Indeed Log Server supports:

  • Windows Event Log
  • Microsoft SQL Server
  • PostgreSQL Pro

Events can be read from only one source, and recorded to several sources simultaneously.

The read and write sources are configured in the configuration file C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ils\clientApps.config in the <Application Id="pam" SchemaId="Pam.Schema"> section. 

The source for reading events is specified in the tags <ReadTargetId> .. </ReadTargetId>.

Sources for recording events are specified one by one in the <TargetId> .. </TargetId> tags and are listed in the WriteTargets section.

Configuring reading and writing events in the Windows Event Log

Go to the C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ils directory and edit the clientApps.config file by changing the item:

<!--<Application Id="pam" SchemaId="Pam.Schema">
	<ReadTargetId>pamEventLogTarget</ReadTargetId>
    <WriteTargets>
       	<TargetId>pamEventLogTarget</TargetId>
    </WriteTargets>
	<AccessControl>
		<CertificateAccessControl CertificateThumbprint="001122...AA11" Rights="Read" />
	</AccessControl>
</Application>-->

this way:

<Application Id="pam" SchemaId="Pam.Schema">
	<ReadTargetId>pamEventLogTarget</ReadTargetId>
	<WriteTargets>
		<TargetId>pamEventLogTarget</TargetId>
	</WriteTargets>
	<AccessControl>
		<!--<CertificateAccessControl CertificateThumbprint="001122...AA11" Rights="Read" />-->
	</AccessControl>
</Application>

Below, in the Targets section, make sure there is an uncommented line

    <Target Id="Pam.EventLogTarget" Type="eventlog"/>

Setting up reading and writing events in the DBMS

Microsoft SQL Server

  1. Go to the directory C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ils\targetConfigs, create a copy of the file sampleDb.config and rename it to mssqlDb.config, then edit the mssqlDb.config file according to the settings below:
    <Settings>… </Settings>:
    • Data Source - Name of the Microsoft SQL Server/PostgreSQL Pro server or named instance of Microsoft SQL Server
    • Initial Catalog - database name (ILS)
    • User ID - service account for working with Indeed PAM databases
    • Password - service account password

      <Settings>
      	<ConnectionString>Data Source=SQLServer;Database=ILS;Integrated Security=False;User ID=IPAMSQLService;Password=Password</ConnectionString>
      </Settings>

      If using a named instance of Microsoft SQL Server, the value of the Data Source parameter must be set in the format <server name>\<instance name>.

      <Settings>
      	<ConnectionString>Data Source=MSSQLServer\Named instance; ... </ConnectionString>
      </Settings>
  2. In the file C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ils\clientApps.config edit the Application section for work with the mssqlDb.config file:

     <Application Id="pam" SchemaId="Pam.Schema">
          <ReadTargetId>mssqlDb</ReadTargetId>
          <WriteTargets>
            <TargetId>mssqlDb</TargetId>
          </WriteTargets>
          <AccessControl>
            <!--<CertificateAccessControl CertificateThumbprint="001122...AA11" Rights="Read" />-->
          </AccessControl>
        </Application> 
  3. Next in the same file in the Targets section add a new element:

      <Targets>
        ...
        <Target Id="mssqlDb" Type="mssql"/>
      </Targets> 
    
    


PostgreSQL Pro

  1. Go to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ils\targetConfigs directory, create a copy of the file sampleDb.config rename it to postgresDb.config, then edit the postgresDb.config file similar to the settings for Microsoft SQL Server.
  2. In the file C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ils\clientApps.config edit the Application section for work with the postgresDb.config file:

        <Application Id="pam" SchemaId="Pam.Schema">
          <ReadTargetId>postgresDb</ReadTargetId>
          <WriteTargets>
            <TargetId>postgresDb</TargetId>
          </WriteTargets>
          <AccessControl>
            <!--<CertificateAccessControl CertificateThumbprint="001122...AA11" Rights="Read" />-->
          </AccessControl>
        </Application> 
  3. Next, in the same file in the Targets section add a new element:

      <Targets>
        ...
        <Target Id="postgresDb" Type="pgsql"/>
      </Targets> 

Configuring event reading in the DBMS, recording events in both the Windows Event Log and the DBMS

  1. Go to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ils\targetConfigs directory, create a copy of the file sampleDb.config, edit it in a way of the type of DBMS used according to the instructions above.
  2. In the fileC:\inetpub\wwwroot\ils\clientApps.config edit the Application section this way:

    <Application Id="pam" SchemaId="Pam.Schema">
          <ReadTargetId>mssqlDb</ReadTargetId>
          <WriteTargets>
            <TargetId>mssqlDb</TargetId>
    		<TargetId>Pam.EventLogTarget</TargetId>
          </WriteTargets>
          <AccessControl>
        <!--<CertificateAccessControl CertificateThumbprint="001122...AA11" Rights="Read" />-->
          </AccessControl>
        </Application>

    This example shows the configuration for reading events from the Microsoft SQL Server, writing events to the Microsoft SQL Server and Windows Event Log.
