Standard Log Recording
Capabilities
Status reports are
sent from your computer to our servers every 60 minutes. Other
reports, such as startup, shutdown, standby, hibernate, login
and logoff reports are sent immediately as they occur. |
 |
External (public) and internal (local) IP addresses
-
If the computer connects through a firewall, then the external
IP address recorded would be the address of the firewall. |
 |
Date and Time
- Report time is recorded each time a
report is sent by a WinLocate computer. All times are adjusted
to UTC times and converted to your local time zone when reports
are viewed on the web. |
 |
Message Type
- Message types are recorded to indicate
the type of information that was logged, such as startups and
shutdowns, logons, logoffs, status message, time syncs, etc. |
 |
Logged-in User
- The user name of the currently
logged in user is recorded. |
 |
Average Key Presses Per Minute (KPM). |
 |
Average Mouse Clicks Per Minute (MPM). |
 |
Time Online
- Total continuous time online is
recorded when an Internet connection is available and is reset
when the connection is no longer available. |
 |
Time Since Last Activity
- Total continuous periods
of inactivity are recorded where there is no user input from
either the keyboard or mouse. |
 |
Total Active Minutes
- An "active minute" is a 60
second period of time where some user input (keyboard or mouse)
was detected. If no user input is detected for a given minute,
then the computer is considered inactive for that time period.
Periods of activity are recorded as "active minutes" so overall
computer usage can be determined and compared to other computers
if desired. |
 |
Kilobytes In and Kilobytes Out
- Network (Internet)
activity is recorded in both directions (download and upload)
and bandwidth totals are calculated. |
 |
CPU Load
- Average CPU load of the computer (in
percent) is calculated for each reporting period. This is useful
in determining if an application is causing abnormal loads on
your computer. |
 |
Ports In Use
-
The maximum number
of network/Internet ports (connections to computers or network
devices) used during each reporting period. This is useful in
determining if the number of Internet connections deviates from
normal values and detecting virus,
trojan and "zombie"
infected machines and
DDoS attacks. |
 |
Real-time Configuration
Reports
- Click a link and remotely retrieve a
printable system configuration report that contains information
about the computers hardware, disk space, running programs, open
tasks, installed services, TCP/IP ports in use, active network
connections, event log entries, and more. Even custom log files.
A great tool for troubleshooting problems and ensuring users are
not running unauthorized software. |
 |
Remote Commands
-
Remotely log off
users, reboot or shutdown the system. |
 |
One Minute Setup
-
WinLocate can be literally installed and configured in less than
60 seconds. After it is installed, there are no settings that
ever need to be changed. |
 |
Stealth Operation
- WinLocate installs as a system process
and the user will never know it is running. There are no icons
created, no program entries created, no uninstall options, and
no options that can be changed. |
 |
Internal Clock
- WinLocate has a built in internal UTC
clock so that the time recorded when a report is sent is always
the exact, current time. The correct time will be recorded even
if the user changes the computers system clock.
|
 |
Automatic Clock
Synchronization - The computers
internal clock can optionally be synchronized to a time server
whenever the WinLocate internal clock is synchronized. |
 |
User Definable Reporting
Days/Times - WinLocate can be
installed to report only at specific times, or for specific time
periods and days of the week. This is extremely useful in
situations where WinLocate is used as an employee monitoring
tool and the employee is also allowed to use the computer for
personal use "after hours". |
 |
User Definable Groups
- Users can define reporting groups (i.e.
sales, support, accounting) for group reporting and comparisons
of users within defined groups. |
 |
Syslog Compatible
- WinLocate can be installed in a Syslog
Compatible mode by advanced administrators who want to maintain
their own data. All data is sent in a tab delimited format and
field definitions are available for custom logging and
reporting. |
