Understanding automatic (cron) jobs<br />

You can edit the /etc/sidewinder/rollaudit.conf file to specify how<br />

large files are allowed to get before they are rotated and the<br />

maximum amount <strong>of</strong> time that should elapse between rotations. See<br />

the rollaudit man page for details on editing this file.<br />

Caution: To avoid serious system problems, do not allow the /var/log partition to<br />

become full. The /sbin/logcheck job will generate an e-mail message warning you if the<br />

/var/log partition becomes 85% full and then again if it becomes 100% full.<br />

SmartFilter cron job<br />

The SmartFilter control list is updated weekly by the following job:<br />

/usr/sbin/smartfilter_auto_download<br />

The system administrator is notified via e-mail whenever the control<br />

list is successfully downloaded. See Appendix E for details about<br />

administering SmartFilter.<br />

Note: This cron job is disabled by default.<br />

Monitor data retrieval cron job<br />

The following cron job retrieves disk utilization information once<br />

every minute:<br />

/usr/bin/get_monitor_data<br />

The data gathered from this job is used to generate the performance<br />

report. See Chapter 18 for information on generating audit reports.<br />

Report generating cron jobs<br />

You can use the Admin Console Reporting window to generate the<br />

following reports:<br />

Root_access, service_denied, and traffic reports.<br />

A network_probe report.<br />

Note: Daily reports are initially disabled in /etc/crontab. If you want to enable daily<br />

reports, you must first enable the auditdbd server or you will not receive any data. See<br />

“Activating the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> license” on page 3-19.<br />
