Spector Server is designed for IT administrators who need a comprehensive surveillance tool that provides a detailed history and audit log, including screen recordings, of all server maintenance and session activity.
Spector Server records every detail of the changes being made to your servers by internal IT staff, outsourced vendors or off-site hosting personnel - the keystrokes they type, the programs they run, changes to configuration settings, modifications to startup or batch files and much more. And because of its advanced surveillance screen snapshot features, you get to see not only WHAT they do on the servers, but the EXACT order in which they do it, step by step.
With Spector Server, you will always have a record of the administrative activity taking place on your servers.
How many times have you found yourself trying to diagnose a server issue and wishing you could go back in time to review activity that may have caused the problem? Now you can.
Spector Server allows you to step back in time and review all server session activity conducted by you, your IT staff or outside technical personnel in order to help resolve conflicts. Spector Server continually records the activity that takes place during your server administration sessions including program activity, keystrokes typed, files downloaded, and most importantly - Spector Server takes detailed screen snapshots that provide you with a visual record of the server session. With Spector Server you will have an exact visual record of everyone that logs into your servers.
Spector Server installs in less than 5 minutes and immediately goes to work silently recording all session activity on the server. During a remote desktop session or any other login, Spector Server automatically records keystrokes typed, program activity, file transfers, web site visits, online searches and more. Plus, Spector Server takes continuous screen snapshots of the activity taking place. All of these recordings are saved to a secure location on the server that can only be accessed by authorized personnel.
Spector Server recordings are always available for review whether a problem arises or you just want to conduct a spot check. To access the recordings launch the Spector Server Viewer. The Viewer automatically loads the session recordings, organizes them by type of activity and provides easy and intuitive tools for reviewing activity, searching for specific words/phrases and playing back screenshots with video-like control.
The most important reasons to use Spector Server to monitor your Server Administrators are to ensure that mission critical services are being maintained properly and to assist in troubleshooting if a problem occurs.
With Spector Server, you can see if Windows Updates and other third-party security patches and updates are being installed and applied correctly. You'll be able to determine if services were set-up properly for starting or stopping based on a schedule or event. You can also find out who added a new user, granted permissions or changed a setting, and when it was done.
If server problems arise, then Spector Server can show you the most recent changes made to the server as well as document the corrective measures, so they can be repeated on other servers.
Spector Server will record creation, deletion and modifications made on your servers, such as:
