Frequently asked questions

When someone wants to access your website, the web servers (like Apache server, IIS server, or Nginx server) connected to the internet receive the incoming web request and send the requested webpage to the end user. Web server auditing entails routinely checking the web server to see if a potential vulnerability exists or not, and to ensure that the server is working properly and is highly available for the end user.

This solution collects log data from the web server and helps spot hidden malicious threats. With EventLog Analyzer, you can easily monitor web server performance, availability, and response time, user activity, and troubleshoot performance issues faster. You'll gain complete visibility into your web server with the help of the solution's advanced event log correlation engine.

Hackers are constantly preying on your organization's network to exploit the vulnerabilities in your web server. Because web servers acts as a threshold to the Internet, they are prone to web server vulnerabilities like a DDOS attack, SQL injection, XSS (cross-site scripting), and more. To secure your web server from intruders, periodically monitor the server's health to spot issues in the web server's disk capacity, CPU load, memory usage, latency, failure, and accuracy.
