Print server log monitoring
Organizations typically host one or more print servers in a central location to manage the printing needs of employees. It's critical to monitor any place where information may be taken out of the company, and print servers are no exception. It is also important to ensure smooth running of the print server to maintain efficiency of the printing process. Monitoring print server logs can help achieve these goals by offering the following benefits:
- Ensure no sensitive documents are printed.
- Flag attempts to print without sufficient permission.
- Identify failed print jobs and their causes.
- Discover patterns and trends in employees' printing habits.
