Changing security settings for an Analyzer
In a Real User Analyzer, a Security user can enable or disable security features for services.
To configure the following security features for services, point to Administration > Security settings and click Services.
Device management
- SNMP — When SNMP is enabled, you can configure the system as a managed network device that sends SNMP traps.
- Configuration API access — When configuration API access is enabled, you can configure the Watchpoints and custom fields via the Configuration API in addition to the web interface.
- Alerts — When incident and error alerts are enabled, you can configure the system to send alerts via email to recipients when certain events occur.
- Secure REST APIs — When Secure REST APIs is enabled, you can use the rest call API in a secure (HTTPS) or non-secure mode (HTTP). If it is disabled, you can only use the the rest call API in a secure (HTTPS) mode.
Data collection
The storage of raw site traffic data — When the data storage is enabled, the system stores data about individual hits, pages and sessions to support drilling down and export functionality in the Session Browser.
User interface
- Launching URLs in a browser window from the Session browser — When the URL launch feature is enabled, users can launch URLs from monitored traffic displayed in the web interface of the system.
- A prelogin message — When the prelogin message is enabled, the system displays a custom message on the logon page.
To customize this message, click Edit on the Action menu for Pre-login message. Maximum length of the message is 1024 characters, HTML is not allowed. Automatic page reload — When automatic page reload is enabled, some pages automatically reload themselves after a predefined interval. This function is useful if you want to monitor data in near-real time without manually refreshing the page repeatedly.
- Inactive session timeout period — Click Edit on the Action menu for Inactive session timeout period.
- Minimum: 5 minutes
- Maximum: 48 hours
Data export
- Bulk data export — When bulk data export is enabled, external applications can use the system as a source for data mining, warehousing, and other integrations (via HTTPS interfaces).
- Watchpoint streaming — When enabled, external applications can tap directly into the system data-processing engine to receive real-time data feeds.
Nonsecure data transfer — By default, URL-based data exports (whether for export APIs or for Watchpoint streaming) use a secure connection (HTTPS). When nonsecure data transfer is enabled, you can specify that the actual data delivery might use a nonsecure connection (HTTP) to achieve faster transfer rates with minimal impact on the system.
