HostWatch

HostWatch

The HostWatch application displays active connections occurring on a
Firebox in real time. It can also graphically represent the connections
listed in a log file, either playing back a previous file for review or
displaying connections as they are added to the current log file. To open

HostWatch, click the HostWatch button (pictured at left) on the Control Center
QuickGuide. For more information, see “HostWatch” on page 98.

Historical Reports

Historical Reports is a report-building tool that creates HTML reports
displaying session types, most active hosts, most used services, URLs,
and other data useful in monitoring and troubleshooting your network.
To open Historical Reports, click the Historical Reports button (pictured

at left) on the Control Center QuickGuide. For more information, see “Generating
Reports of Network Activity” on page 109.

LiveSecurity Event Processor

The LiveSecurity Event Processor controls logging, report schedules, and
notification. It also provides timing services for the Firebox. The Event
Processor automatically runs when you start the machine on which it is
installed.

Unlike other Firebox System applications, the Event Processor button does not
appear in Control Center. To open the Event Processor, double-click the LiveSecurity
Event Processor icon (pictured above) in the Windows Desktop tray. For more
information, see “Setting up the LiveSecurity Event Processor” on page 73.
