Audit Suite adds SharePoint 2010 support

Tue, 01 Mar 2011 17:11:00 GMT

Choosing which events to audit in the Site Collection Settings window.

Muhimbi SharePoint Audit Suite V2.0 also adds authentication events, advanced querying and improved reporting.

Muhimbi SharePoint Audit Suite provides an easy way to enforce farm wide auditing while still providing the flexibility to override these settings, with the Administrator's consent, at the Web Application or Site Collection level. In addition to enforcing audit rules, SharePoint Audit also makes it easy to view and filter audit events from the comfort of your browser without the need for external applications, special audit servers or 3rd party agents. Muhimbi SharePoint Audit includes a flexible administration model that scales from the smallest SharePoint Deployment to environments with dozens of Web Applications and thousands of Site Collections. Muhimbi SharePoint Audit includes a year of free upgrades and support.

Updates in V2.0

SharePoint 2010 Support
In addition to WSS3 and MOSS 2007 Muhimbi now provides support for SharePoint Foundation 2010 as well as SharePoint Server 2010.
Enriched Data
Any Audit data logged by the native SharePoint platform is cryptic at best. The software translates this information into a format that is much more readable and easier to report on.
Additional Audit events
Although the SharePoint platform provides such basic audit events as View and Delete, some events such as Insert are sorely missing. The Muhimbi Audit Suite fills in the gaps by adding new event types and tightening up the support for existing event types. For example the product adds support for tracking views of List Items and Document property screens.
Authentication events
Wouldn't it be great to track when users log-in to or log-off from a site collection? Now you can, and include it in your audit reports as well.
Field changes
It is great to track that a document or item has been updated, but what you really want to know is what fields have changed and what the old and new values are. This information is now logged to the audit logs to make it extremely easy to get an overview of what happened to an item over time.
Advanced Querying
The log viewer / querying tool makes it very simple to run custom queries. Per user, for a group of users, excluding certain users, between two dates, certain audit events only, you name it.
Improved Reporting
The Muhimbi Audit Suite ships with a number of pre-generated reports such as Security Reports and Content Modification Reports, but it is also very simple to generate your own custom ones. Results can be grouped by User, Date, Site or by any combination of these. Export the data to Excel for further filtering / pivoting.
Increased Scalability
The audit tables that ship with SharePoint have not been designed with scalability in mind. The Muhimbi Audit Suite creates a separate logging database that is highly optimized for the logging and querying of audit data, no matter how many millions of rows it contains.
Automatic log truncating
The Muhimbi Audit Suite allows the log files to be truncated automatically after a certain amount of time. There is no need to keep indefinite audit data if all you need is the last 3 months.
