Replacing IP Addresses in Untangle Reports with User Names
If you are using Untangle Server's Active Directory integration, this topic doesn't apply to you because Untangle Reports show user names by default in an Active Directory environment.
Untangle Reports contain IP addresses. To enhance readability, you can replace the internal IP addresses (addresses outside the protected network) with user names. If you are using DHCP, you do not need to map IP addresses to user names.
Caution: For external addresses (addresses outside the protected network), do not configure external IP addresses.
To replace IP addresses with user names:
- From Untangle Reports, click the Show Settings button.
- Click the IP Address to User Map tab.
- Click the plus (add) button to the left of the table. A new row appears in the table.
- Specify the IP address and user name, and click the Save Settings button.
Availability of Reports after Untangle upgrade (Version 4.x to 5.0)
This upgrade causes the top-level report index to get rebuilt according to the new standard. You will not see any reports as being available until Reports are run again according to your specified schedule. If you run reports daily, please allow 24 hours before reports are available. If you only run weekly or monthly reports (and not daily), please allow one reporting cycle.
Enabling SNMP and Syslog Monitoring
Although Untangle Reports provide you extensive network monitoring capabilities, you might already have an existing network monitoring system such as IBM's Tivoli Monitoring. In that case, Untangle Server can provide data to your existing network monitoring system.
To configure SNMP and Syslog:
- From the Untangle Client, click the Config tab > Remote Admin. The Remote Admin Config windows launches.
- Click the Monitoring tab, then the SNMP tab or the Syslog tab.
- Click the Enable radio button.
- Type the appropriate configuration information, and click the Save Settings button.
