  14. ObserveIT –Demo(The instructor will do a 30 minutes demo of the product)

  15. ObserveIT –“One Click” Installation

  16. Installing ObserveIT • The "One Click" installation method is the easiest way to deploy ObserveIT • If needed, each of the ObserveIT components can be installed separately as part of a custom installation • Installation order: • Database creation • Web Management Console server • Application server • Windows Agents

  17. “One Click” Installation • To run the ObserveIT “One Click” installer, run the Setup.exefile. • In the main installation screen there are 3 separate configuration sections: • SQL Server settings • Web applications (Web Management console and Application server) settings • Licensing • Installation will also install an Agent locally.

  18. Database The following databases will be created • ObserveIT • ObserveIT_Data • ObserveIT_Archive_1 • ObserveIT_Archive_template The following user will be creates: ObserveITUser (do not delete or change the password !!)

  19. Hands on • VM Setup and ObserveIT “One Click” installation • Follow Student Guide sections 1 – introduction 2 - Prerequisites & System Requirements 3 - One-Click Installation 5.11 – Installation ObserveIT Agent on CentOS 5.12 – Installation ObserveIT Agent on Ubuntu Length: 45 minutes

  20. Configuring ObserveIT • Presentation: “ObserveIT_user_Training_guide__Configuring_ObserveIT_<date>.PPT”

  21. Recording and Web Console Usage - Basic Use Cases

  22. Logging on to the Web Console • Use the following URL to connect to the ObserveIT Web Management Console: • http://servername:4884/ObserveIT • If this is your first time using the ObserveIT Web Management Console, you will be prompted to change the default "Admin" password.

  23. The ObserveIT Web Console – Sessions browser • Areas to replay sessions and study the recorded data: • Server Diary • User Diary • Search • Reports

  24. Windows User Activity recording • Agent will record users and applications that are specified in the recording policy • Only user activity is recorded • User Idle time is not recorded – Movie, script • Video Analysis contains “Windows Tile” and “Application Name”

  25. Unix User Activity recording • Agent will record users that are specified in the recording policy • All SSH in/out is recorded (not related to user activity) • Idle time – relevant for session timeout only. • Video Analysis contains “System Calls” and “Function Calls”

  26. The trainer will show demo of the : • reports • search

  27. Hands on • Basic use cases • Follow Student Guide section : 4. Basic Use Cases 4. 1 Simulating User Activity 4.2 Auditing the User Activity 5.13 Simulate User Activity on Unix 5.14 View Linux Recorded Session Length: 60 minutes

  28. ObserveIT Deployment Scenarios

  29. ObserveIT Deployment Scenarios • A typical ObserveIT installation consists of multiple monitored servers (or Agents), each installed on a separate physical or virtual Windows-based or Unix-based operating system. • There are 4 typical types of deployment scenarios: • Small deployment • Medium to large deployment • High-Availability deployment • Terminal/Citrix Remote Access gateway deployment

  30. Small Deployment • Less than 100 servers • 5-10 administrators in a single data center. • The Application and the Web Management Servers will be installed on the same platform • Database Server can be installed on the same platform (“All in one”).

  31. Small Deployment Agent HTTP Traffic HTTP Traffic Agent “All in one” Database Server Application Server Web Console ObserveIT Admin Agent

  32. Medium to Large Deployment • 100-1000 Servers • Application Server + Web Console on same machine • Microsoft SQL Server on separated machine • If needed, customer’s existing SQL Server can be used, or a new instance can be created. • ObserveIT Events, Metadata and Configuration are stored in SQL Server • Screens/Slides stored on File System

  33. Medium to Large Deployment Agent HTTP Traffic SQL Traffic Agent Application Server Web Console Database Server HTTP Traffic RAID network File System Agent ObserveIT Admin

  34. High Availability Deployment • Multiple Application Servers • Using “Load Balancer” or “Round Robin” • Cluster-based implementation of Microsoft SQL Server. • SQL Server will most likely be using a dedicated storage device. • ObserveIT recorded videos will be saved on RIAD Shared network device

  35. High Availability Deployment DNS Records: oitsrv A 192.168.100.11 oitsrv A 192.168.100.12 Round Robin enabled and record cache set to 0 DNS Server Agent SQL 192.168.100.11 Active Application Server 1 SQL Traffic SQL Agent HTTP Traffic 192.168.100.12 Active Application Server 2 MS SQL Failover Cluster Agent

  36. High Availability Deployment DNS Records: oitsrv A 192.168.100.10 *Offline Mode enabled DNS Server Agent SQL Active Application Server 1 HTTP Traffic SQL Traffic 192.168.100.10 SQL Agent Active Application Server 2 MS SQL Failover Cluster Load Balancing Cluster Agent RAID network File System

  37. TS/Citrix Remote Access Gateway Deployment • Remote connections will connect to the Terminal Server(s) or Citrix Server(s). • On these machines, only the applications required for the remote users' workwill be published. • The ObserveIT Agent will be installed on the Terminal Server(s) or Citrix Server(s), capturing all remote sessions on these machines. • Visual recording will be available for all the remote users' actions. • Less Metadata will be available for the recorded sessions.

  41. Integration with Active Directory Authentication requirement: • Web Console user authentication • Secondary Identification Data query requirement : • Identity theft (email to user) • One Time password (sms to users phone)

  42. Integration with Active Directory LDAP Traffic (TCP 389) Windows Server 2003/2008 Domain Controller Agent HTTP Traffic SQL Traffic Agent Application Server Web Console Database Server HTTP Traffic Agent ObserveIT Admin

  43. About ObserveIT components

  44. The ObserveIT Components • ObserveIT Agent • Windows Agent • Unix / Linux Agent • ObserveIT Server-side components • Application Server • Web Management Console • Database

  45. About each componentObsreveIT Agent

  46. ObserveIT Agent • The ObserveIT Agent is installed on all systems which require monitoring. • There are 2 versions of the Agent: • Windows version – runs on all versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems (32 and 64-bit) • Unix/Linux version – runs on several versions of Unix/Linux (32 and 64-bit)

  47. The Windows Agent • The ObserveIT Agent is a software component that is installed on any Windows-based operating system (servers and desktop versions) that you wish to record. • The ObserveIT Agent is a user-mode executable that binds to every Desktop User Session. • It can be installed on any version of Windows, starting from NT 4.0 up to Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. • Supports: • 32-bit machine • 64-bit machine

  48. The Windows Agent – Minimum System Requirements

  49. The Windows Agent – Capturing Data • As soon as a user creates a session on a monitored server, the Agent is started and begins recording – based upon a pre-determined recording policy. • The ObserveIT Agent is triggered by user activities such as keyboard and mouse events. • Idle time – when a user is reading, or inactive – is not recorded. • When triggered, the Agent performs a screen capture. • At the same moment it captures textual metadataof what is seen on the screen (window title, executable name, date, time, user name, etc.).

  50. The Agent – Offline Mode (Windows+Unix) • The ObserveIT Agent can be configured to allow offline caching of recorded data. • This is useful in the event of network malfunctions or disconnection, and for NLB scenarios. • When network connectivity is reestablished, the Agent transmits the locally cached data back to the Application Server. • In order not to fill the local disk, by default, the local cache holds 1000 screenshots. This number is configurable.
