Version

Summary

Argent for Compliance parses a subset of Windows Events for Compliance reports

In order to do reports on Events that are not included, they have to be saved as RAW data into SQL table ARGSOFT_COMPLIANCE_LOG_ARCHIVE

However, there was no efficient way to do so

Whether to save RAW data into SQL table is controlled by node level property

When it is turned on by selecting option ‘SQL Database’ or ‘Both SQL and File System Data’, any security log entries would be saved in database, which can adversely affect SQL DB space usage

Argent Advanced Technology 5.1A-1901-A has been enhanced to allow Rule level option to control the behavior

As a result, user can selectively save events specified in the Rule filter into SQL database

Technical Background
