data collection from applications

Appterix offers the option of logging application starts in Application Access. These logs are visible in the journal and show which applications have been allowed and which have been blocked. However, with such logging of application starts, the data volume on the client, server and in the database can grow enormously. Appterix therefore offers the configuration of data collection.

data collection options

When configuring data collection, you have three options:

Collect: Data about application starts is logged

Send to server: Collected data is transmitted from the client component (Appterix Agent) to the Appterix server. If you Collect active and Send to server inactive, the data is stored on the client.

Hide in the agent's application journal: If you are Collect active, data about application starts are recorded and stored on the client or, if active, Send to server to the server component in order to store this data in Journal of the server. However, if you want the Appterix Agent this data is not in Journal displayed, you can Hide in the agent's application journal deactivate.

Data collection can be done both in the Global Approval List as well as being enabled in custom allowlists. Application launch logging can be configured at various levels:

filesActivate data collection in the tab files, to log application launches of specific files.

ProductionActivate data collection in the tab Production, to log application launches of applications from a specific manufacturer.
