Logging Settings

  • This area lets you specify how logs should be collected by the communication client (CC) and security client (XCS).

  • For example, you can choose max. log size, log format and location, and extended log options.

Configure 'Logging' settings

  • Click 'Assets' > 'Configuration Templates' > 'Profiles'

  • Open the Windows profile you want to work on

  • Click the 'Logging Settings' tab then 'Edit', if it has already been added to the profile

OR

  • Click 'Add Profile Section' > 'Logging Settings' if it hasn't yet been added

The settings screen contains two tabs:

  • Communication Client (CC) - Configure CC log collection settings

  • Xcitium Client - Security (XCS) - Configure XCS log collection settings

Communication Client



 

Form Element

Description

Write to Local Log Database (Xcitium Format)

The log is saved in native Xcitium format on the local endpoint.


You can select the events for which logs are collected and stored:

  • Monitoring logs

  • Script logs

  • OS patch logs

  • Third party application update logs

  • Application installation logs

  • Uninstall logs

  • Event Detection and Response (EDR) agent communication logs

  • Xcitium Client - Security (XCS) communication logs

  • Remote Control Communication Logs

  • Operational Logs

Write to Syslog Server

CC logs are written to a remote syslog server. If enabled, specify the hostname/IP address and port of the server.

Host *

The host name or IP address of the syslog server.

Port *

The port number on the syslog server to which CC should forward the logs.

Action when file log size reaches limit:

Specify behavior when the log file reaches a certain size.

Keep on updating it removing the oldest records

When the max. log size is reached, CC will remove the oldest entries to make way for new entries.

Move it to

CC will save the log file to a specific folder when it reaches the maximum size. CC will then start a new log file.

The path to the folder for old log files *

If 'Move it to' is enabled, type a destination path for the log file.

Crash dump collection

Xcitium creates a dump file if the communication client crashes on an endpoint. The file contains details about the crash which can help our technicians diagnose and fix the issue. This file is automatically forwarded to Xcitium servers. If enabled, you can choose the log type:

  • Log Type - Choose the type of dump file you want. The options are:

  • Mini - The file only contains enough data to identify the conditions of the crash.

  • Full - A detailed log of all information related to the crash. Full logs let us analyze the crash in greater detail, but may take longer to generate than mini reports.

No confidential or user data is included in either 'Full' or 'Mini' logs.

(Default = Disabled)

 


Xcitium Client - Security




Form Element

You can enable extended logging for the following additional items:

  • Process creation events

  • XCS components are enabled/disabled by CC

  • Changes to XCS configuration made by CC

  • Submitting files to CAMAS or Valkyrie

Write to Syslog Server

Host *

The host name or IP address of the syslog server.

Port *

The port number of the syslog server.

Write to Log File (CEF Format)

Logs are saved locally on the endpoint in Common Event Format (CEF) file format. If enabled, please specify the location of the CEF file.

Path

Enter the storage location path of the CEF file.

Write to remote server (JSON format)

Logs are saved in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format on a remote server. If enabled, please specify the hostname/IP address of the server, its connection port and the security token.

Host *

Enter the host name or IP address of the remote server.

Port *

Type the port number of the remote sever Xcitium to connect to.

Token*

Log file size (MB)

Specify the maximum limit for the size of the log file (Default = 100 MB).

Action when file log size reaches limit:

Specify behavior when the log file reaches a certain size.

Keep on updating it removing the oldest records

Once the log file reaches the maximum size, the file will be appended with the new log entries and the oldest entries will be deleted depending on the size of the new entries.

Move it to

Choose this option if you wish to move and save the log file when it reaches the maximum size.

The path to the folder for old log files *

If 'Move it to' is enabled, type a destination path for the log file.

Send anonymous program statistics to Xcitium

If enabled, select the types of statistics sent from the following options:

Crash dumps

XCS sends dump files to Xcitium if the application crashes or there is a BSOD (blue screen of death) on the endpoint.


This is useful for analysis and troubleshooting.

Telemetry Reports

Will send to Xcitium a daily log about the files you scan with XCS. We use this data to improve Xcitium and XCS.


The reports contain the following details:

  • The hash value and path of the file

  • The hash value(s) and path of the parent file that executed the file

  • Size, certificate information, and attributes of the file

Fields marked * are mandatory.

  • Click the 'Save' button to apply your changes.
