Retrieving audit events data

The Remote Control Controller Logs analysis is used for gathering the audit events from any computers in your environment that have the BigFix® Remote Control controller component installed. The information is retrieved and updated every 6 hours. This information can be used for auditing purposes and also for monitoring session activity carried out by the controller user.

If the analysis is active, the list of computers that this analysis is relevant for is displayed in the Results tab. Double-click a computer to see summary data for the selected computer. The data includes a section for the controller log entries that are retrieved by the Remote Control Controller Logs analysis. You can also expand the Applicable Computers entry and filter the data further by specific retrieved properties.

Note: If the controller component is actively in a remote control session while the analysis tries to gather data from it, an error is reported. The error is reported in the analysis results stating that the file is in use.
