ADAudit Plus print auditing offers three different modes for event collection:
- RealTime: Events are collected from the Event Viewer.
- Schedule: Events are collected from the Event Viewer over a configured time interval.
- Print Listener: Events are collected from the print queue using Windows API when a print job is initiated.
To choose the desired event fetch mode:
- Log in to the ADAudit Plus console and go to the Configuration tab.
- Under the Event Fetch Interval column, select the desired mode, and if selecting Schedule, set the desired time interval in which print events should be audited.
To enable branch office direct print auditing, set the Event Fetch Interval to Real-time or Schedule mode. The Print Listener mode does not support branch office direct print auditing.
