1RST QUESTION: Can you impose a quota for the size of the auditing
information?
Visual Guard does not include this feature yet.
However, you can directly access the log table (VG_LOG) from your
application.
We left the data in this table clearly visible on purpose,
so that VG users can access or remove some records whenever they
need.For instance, you can stop logging or partially clean-up this
table when a given quota is reached.
This would be done by your own code in your application.

Is it possible to use another auditing tool? (For example Crystal)
Visual Guard .net stores the log in tables (in the repository). It is
possible to reuse and re analyse this log in other tools that Visual
Guard.Net.

Where can I find the Log option in Visual Guard .Net ?
In the console, you can access the log for each application
(including the console) either through the menu Action/Event Log or
with the right click/ Event Log.
You can declare events of your choice that you would like to track,
and then, export it as a PDF document.

We are looking at using Log4Net or Microsoft Enterprise Logging Block, can Visual Guard integrate with these logging mechanisms as well?As you know, VG provides logging and auditing features. By default, VG will log events in its repository. You can also add more trace listener if you want (DBMS, file, OS, ...). Then, you will be able to use VG Auditing features (log viewer, filters, pdf exports, etc...) answer 15/07/08
Is it possible to query the VG database directly to report on which
users are assigned to which applications and what role the users have
within an application? My guess is no.
When calling VG API an app can list all the users who access to it,
including their roles.
From VG console, you can generate a complete report about the secured
apps, the users, their roles and permissions.

Is it possible to add options to the Audit Utility? We refer to
detailed information that we want to get from the files of LOG:

You will add standard Visual Guard .Net instructions in your code each
time you want to log a new event.
You can also send parameters to enrich the log (amount of a

Does Visual Guard support SQL reporting?
Yes it does.

Is it possible to add a logo or trademark into the PDF documentation
generated with the console?
The documentation generated with the console is not locked. You can
modify it thanks to PDF Acrobat.
You may also access the log directly from your application and
generate the rapport with your own tools. The logged information is
stored in a table of the Database.
