RE: Program to monitor employee internet usage

[Bénoni MARTIN <Benoni.MARTIN () libertis ga>]

Well, you do not give us a lot of info about your situation !

In the past, I had an ISA Server 2K4 set up on a Win 2K3 Server, and this can match your needs. Or I had in another 
company Ntop/Squid set up on a Mandrake and this gave us nice graphs ...

If you are a developer, you can cerate a little application can gather periodically your FW's logs and then display 
what you want on an interface. I did something similar with my IIS logs of my web servers and it works fine (about a 
fortnight of work).

HTH !

Objet : Program to monitor employee internet usage

A member of management has asked me to research available programs to log internet usage (web surfing) on our corporate 
network.

We are running a Windows server with a mix of XP and 2K clients.

What have some of you used to provide this in a report that management can use to show that a user is spending too much 
time on the internet?

I don't have a Linux box up and running, but if the right Linux based app is suggested, I would consider going that 
route.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. Please try and keep this on topic, I've seen questions like this before degrade into a privacy violation, "big 
brother" type of debate.
