I faced a problem on my customer site. They used Symantec Mail Security Software that running on Windows platform. (SMS Version 4)

Since I read a SMS collector document. There is no mention "How to collect log from SMS running on Windows" only SMS Appliance and SMS on Linux platfrom.

So is there a possible way to collect log from its.

Sample log:

20090308,0,1=1,101=Antivirus scanner,100=LiveUpdate session initiated,2=400
20090308,0,1=1,101=Heuristic anti-spam scanner,100=LiveUpdate session initiated,2=400

You need a different collector

You need the collector for Symantec Mail Security for SMTP 4.1 - there is a collector available for this.  I think the version on it is 3.x as it was released a couple years ago before the Brightmail appliances were available.

Hope this helps

SMS 5.x

And is there available another collector for version 5.x or can I use the same one?
If not, can I use Windows Event Collector to collect the events??

Thanks.

Hey, I think the SMTP

Hey,

I think the SMTP collector is a sip only ? If I am not mistaken it was on a install CD of  "SAV for SMTP" media.

You can olaways configure the product inside to write to Windows event logs and then use the Windows Event Collector.

There is a KB on how to do this for Scan Engine :

SMS 5.x

Hi,
 
I've just checked the link above. The product involved in that link is Symantec Scan Engine 5.0.
Is it the same as SMS?? I've been looking it up and it's an antivirus.

Thank you.
