Maintainer

This contrib has been developed by Jesper Knudsen

Description

smeserver-dansguardian-stats provides a web statistics interface to the results of the content filtering provided by Dansguardian. Its a prerequisite that dansguardian and the smeserver-dansguardian contribs have been installed.

Installation

wget http://sme.swerts-knudsen.com/downloads/Dansguardian-stats/smeserver-dansguardian-stats-1.0.0-1.noarch.rpm
yum  --enablerepo=smecontribs localinstall smeserver-dansguardian-stats-1.0.0-1.noarch.rpm

De-installation or de-activation

You can simply remove the package again with the usual rpm command.

rpm –e smeserver-dansguardian-stats-1.0.0-1

or disable the functionality with (default: yes):

/sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop dansguardian webstats no

Configuration

When installed, the web interface is is accessible form:

http://your.domain.com/dansguardian

This dansguardian statistics web page can, by default, only be seen from the local network (IP ranges defined in Local Network in the server-manager) but if you want this to be accessible from remote networks (public access) this can be done via (default: yes):

/sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop dansguardian LocalOnly <no|yes>
expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd-e-smith restart

Statistics

An additional feature of the Dansguardian statistics is to send the collected statistics to a central statistics central at http://central.swerts-knudsen.dk. The gathering of data is not stressful for the server and the data sent is not sensitive (well in my opinion) and consists of:

• Amount of pages scanned
• Top 10 names of virus/malware infected content (names from ClamAV)
• Top 10 names of Blocked domains and their Dansguardian categories (Proxies, Pornography, etc.)
• The version of SME server used (7.x)
• Public IP address of server (used to plot in Google Maps on central.swerts-knudsen.com)

Should you want to disable this functionality then this can obviously be done:

/sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop dansguardian statsclient <disabled|enabled>
