Activity Monitoring with FrameFlow

In a monitoring environment with hundreds of network devices, dozens of event monitors, and several IT team members making monitoring changes at all times, it pays to have systems in place that keep track of who does what. FrameFlow has several of these tools built-in to record important actions like logins and administrative changes so you'll always be informed about the actions taken by yourself and other team members.

Logon Security Event Monitor

FrameFlow's Logon Security Event Monitor watches over Windows logins for all devices connected to it. You can receive alerts about successful and failed logins and even designate permitted and banned users directly from FrameFlow's interface. You can even configure the event monitor to alert you if one or more accounts get locked out so you can address this issue ASAP.

Linux/SSH Login Event Monitor

We also offer a login event monitor for Linux with similar options. Like with our Windows-based event monitor, you can receive an alert each time a user logs into your SSH server. You can also receive alerts if the event monitor detects the addition of a new user or the removal of a preexisting user.

Azure Activity Log Event Monitor

FrameFlow can also monitor your Azure activity logs and lets you fully customize the events that will trigger an alert. With filtering options for event level, initiator, and category, you can hone in on the activity logs that are relevant to you with ease and receive alerts about all matching events.

Administration History

FrameFlow's Administration History can be found at the bottom of the Settings section of FrameFlow. From there, you can view the changes that have been made to your monitoring configuration by you and other administrators. The Administration History updates itself regularly with virtually every action taken by users on your installation, complete with details on who made the change and when. Using dropdowns for category, scope, and type, you can search and filter through administrative changes to find specific ones.

Summary

Now that you know about FrameFlow's robust and diverse tools for activity monitoring, you can keep a well-rounded view of your IT operations at all times. As we begin wrapping up the 30 Days of FrameFlow, make sure to use the event monitors and tools you learned about today to gather information and receive alerts about activities within FrameFlow as well as Windows and Linux.
