A device that performs a single, well-defined function and is simple to install and operate, for example, a NetCache appliance or NetApp filer.
The process of verifying the identity of a user who is logging into a computer system. The ContentReporter server authenticates a username-password combination each time a user logs in. ContentReporter gives you the ability to simultaneously use its own built-in "Local" authentication, and either a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server or an NT LAN Manager (NTLM) to authenticate users. A Local user is a login account maintained in the ContentReporter application.
The ContentReporter feature that gives you the ability to add one or more SNMP-enabled NetCache appliances (for which you have community string names) to a cache group at one time. You can only discover NetCaches with Class C IP addresses using the auto discovery feature.
A device that generates the log files that the ContentReporter server collects/imports and processes. ContentReporter can collect/import and process NetCacheTM appliance log files, Web server log files, and streaming server log files.
A logically defined group of one or more caches. A cache group is a management tool that enables you to specify the time and frequency of log file collection, and the type of log file analysis for its caches.
A physical or virtual terminal that is used to monitor and control a NetApp appliance.
A Network Appliance software solution that enables you to analyze content usage, performance, and infrastructure load across your entire content delivery network. The ContentReporter server collects and processes log files from NetCache appliances, directories, and FTP servers throughout a network, and outputs the results of the log file processing to your enterprise database. You log into ContentReporter with a Web browser on your network, and schedule and generate customized reports on the log file data in your database.
The log file that contains a record of the ContentReporter server activity. If you have a problem processing log files or generating reports, you may be able to discover the cause of the problem by examining this log file.
The ContentReporter server component that processes collected log files.
The program that receives and fulfills HTTP requests from client browsers on the same or other computers. The computer on which you install ContentReporter is the ContentReporter server machine.
The ContentReporter server component that sorts and groups the log file data it receives from the ContentReporter parser.
The ContentReporter server component that performs bulk updates to the database.
A Web browser with HTTP access to the ContentReporter server. You make requests to, and receive fulfilled requests from, the ContentReporter server through a Web browser.
The columns of table queries and the axes or components of graph queries. Data elements are the actual values, measurements, and statistics that make up queries. "Packets sent" and "URL" are examples of data elements. You can select which data elements to include in a particular query, and customize how each data element appears in a query.
A scheduled database background task that converts hourly data into monthly data. The database rollup feature gives you the ability to keep a specified number of days of hourly data available for reports in your database. You can also specify the number of days of Billing data and Streaming data to keep available for reports.
An Internet service that locates and translates domain names into Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.
A Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere (ASA) 7.0.1 database intended for evaluation situations. When you first install ContentReporter, the ASA is your default database. You can use this database to collect and process small log files, and to generate reports on these log files.
The database (MS SQL 7.0, SP 2 or Oracle 8.1.7) used by the ContentReporter application. The ContentReporter server stores its settings and all aggregated log file records for each cache device in the database. All reports in ContentReporter are based on the records for each cache in the database.
An appliance that attaches to a computer network and is used for data storage. NetApp filers operate using Data ONTAP software.
The complete name of a specific computer on the Internet, an intranet, or a network consisting of the computer's host name and its domain name.
The last domain name (with its extension) in a URL string that contains two domain names. When one web site hosts another web site, the first domain name (with its extension) is the site name. For example, in the URL string "www.netapp.com/aaa/www.webmanage.com/home.htm," "www.netapp.com" is the site name and "www.webmanage.com" is the host name.
The ContentReporter feature that enables you to process log files for a cache device without creating a scheduled event. This feature gives you the ability to process log files that were not collected or processed by a scheduled event and output the result to your database for a new or existing cache.
The unique numerical Internet Protocol (IP) address of a computer that is attached to a TCP/IP network, for example, 12.34.56.78.
Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions. A specification that defines the mechanisms for specifying and describing the format of Internet message bodies. An HTTP response containing the MIME Content-Type header allows the HTTP client to invoke the application that is appropriate for the data received.
Microsoft Media Streaming. The streaming media control protocol used in Windows Media Technologies 3 and 4 streams.
The proprietary software that runs on NetCache appliances. Developed by Network Appliance.
An appliance designed specifically to serve Internet and intranet content quickly and reliably. Developed by Network Appliance.
The browser interface through which a NetCache appliance is managed.
NetApp On the Web. The secure customer service Web site for Network Appliance.
Settings that specify which Local users and which groups have permission to access a page, and specify how they can use a page's features and objects. ContentReporter gives you the ability to grant Unix-style permissions (read, write, execute, and delete) for the Administration, Query Definitions, Report Definitions, Scheduled Events, and Report Results pages.
The tabular or graphical report results of a customized search of the database records of a report definition’s cache or caches. A report query is generated by a query definition. Each report definition includes one or more query definitions.
A customizable template used to search the database records of a report definition’s cache or caches that generates table and graph queries in reports. You can select the data elements to include in the query, and customize how each data element appears in a report. You can create your own customized query definitions or use the pre-defined query definitions. "Reference by Status Code" and "Top View Clips" are two of the pre-defined query definitions.
A customizeable template used to generate cache device reports. You select the queries to include in a report, the format (XHTML or Text) of a report, and the delivery method (save locally, FTP, or e-mail) of a report.
Real Time Streaming Protocol. An open standard for delivery of real-time media over the Internet.
A scheduled log file collection and processing event or a scheduled report generation event. You create a scheduled event to schedule the ContentReporter server to automatically collect and process log files or generate a report one time or at regular intervals.
Permission settings for users and groups on specific objects (query definitions, report definitions, and scheduled events) on pages. Page permissions apply to all objects on a page. Object security enables you to prevent certain users or groups who have access to the Query Definitions, Report Definitions, and Scheduled Events pages from seeing, modifying, running, selecting, or deleting particular events or definitions.
The first or only domain name (with its extension) in a URL string. When one web site hosts another web site, the first domain name (with its extension) is the site name and the last domain name (with its extension) is the host name. For example, in the URL string "www.netapp.com/aaa/www.webmanage.com/home.htm," "www.netapp.com" is the site name and "www.webmanage.com" is the host name.
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. A protocol that provides an encrypted administrative exchange between a NetCache and a client browser. If you installed SecureAdminTM software on a NetCache appliance, you can configure ContentReporter to use the SSL protocol to securely collect log files from the NetCache.
A media file that is transmitted in a continuous flow over a network. Streams are of two types, live and on-demand.
A term used to describe media files that begin playing while they are being transmitted over the network to the media player on the client computer.
A server configured to serve streaming media to clients.
