What is Sophos Reporting Log Writer
Sophos Reporting Log Writer is a specialized application which exports data for use by third-party log-monitoring applications, for example Splunk, which retrieve data from plain text files rather than directly from a database.
Sophos Reporting Log Writer can be installed on a computer with a standalone installation of Sophos Enterprise Console, or on any computer that has access to the Sophos Enterprise Console database.
Note Sophos Reporting Log Writer makes Sophos Enterprise Console data
available to third-party applications. By installing it you assume the responsibility of
the security of the data made available, which includes ensuring the data can only be
accessed by authorized users.
