                            -s /usr/local/bin

    For more information about installation process, see README file (section Installation).

 4. Configuration files

    You are advised to check configuration file warden-apache.conf and
    warden-server.conf in 'etc' directory after installation.
    For more information about post-installation steps see INSTALL file in
    'doc' directory.

    SOAP protocol is used for handling communication between server and clients.
    Therefore, correct URI of Warden server must be set.

    Authentication of clients and server is performed using client and server
    SSL certificates. Both clients and server must have valid certificate.

    is allowed on your firewall.

  3. Known Issues

    No issues are known.

  4. Database checks

    If you want apply an offline checks to your received data health, you can use
    the wardenWatchdog.pl script. You can found the documentation in chapter
    I. Warden Watchdog in this document.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G. Registration of Clients

  The Warden server administrator is responsible for registering new clients or
  removing those already registered. Both registration or unregistration scripts
  are provided in the Warden server package. Those scripts should be run from
  the same machine the Warden server is installed and running on.

  Members of Warden community who would like to have their client registered must
  contact the Warden server administrator with the requirement. This is usually
  done via secured e-mail. Requestor should provide all important data to the
  Warden server administrator so that the client can be successfully registered.

  1. Register Sender

    New sender clients are registered in Warden system via registerSender.pl.

    Following attributes must be provided in order to register new client
    successfully:

    hostname           - hostname of the client,
    requestor          - organization or authorized person who demands new
                         client registration,
    service            - name of the service of a new registered client,
    description_tags   - tags describing the nature of the service,
    ip_net_client      - CIDR the client is only allowed to communicate from,
    client_id          - user defined client ID (optionaly).

    One can run registerSender.pl with -h argument to see a help.

  2. Register Receiver

    New receiver clients are registered in Warden system via
    registerReceiver.pl.

    Following attributes must be provided in order to register new client
    successfully:

    hostname           - hostname of the client,
    requestor          - e-mail address of organization or authorized person
                         who demands new client registration,
    type               - the type of events the client wish to receive or '_any_'
                         for receiving of all types of events,
    receive_own_events - boolean value describing if events originating from
                         the same CIDR will be sent to the client,
    ip_net_client      - CIDR the client is only allowed to communicate from,
    client_id          - user defined client ID (optionaly)

    One can run registerReceiver.pl with -h argument to see a help.

  3. Unregister Client

    In the Warden system, already registered clients can be unregistered
    via unregisterClient.pl.

    Following attribute must be provided in order to unregister existing client
    successfully:

    client_id          - ID of the client that should be removed (unregistered).

    One can run unregisterClient.pl with -h argument to see a help.

    The process of unregistration set client (specified by client_id) like 'invalid'
    in DB table clients and all messages stored by this client (considering "sender"
    client) are not deleted, they are merely set 'invalid' in DB table events too.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
H. Status Info

  Functions in this section show status of the Warden server and active
  (registered) clients to the Warden system administrator.

  Similarly to (un)registration, these functions should be run from
  localhost (e. g. from the same machine the Warden server is installed and
  running on).

  1. Get Status

     Function getStatus is accessible via getStatus.pl. Function has no input
     parameters and returns info about the Warden server, its DB status and
     event's statistics of active registered senders.

  2. Get Clients

     Function getClients is accessible via getClients.pl. Function has no input
     parameters and returns detailed information about all registered clients.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I. Warden Watchdog

  Warden Watchdog is a simple script for check of an Warden server DB. You can
  create various SQL queries (checks) for an example for events from wrong IPs,
  for events with incomplete description or for long quiet reporting clients.
  Then you can run watchdog by hand or a repeatedly via Cron.

  If one or more events are found by a check, than predefined information
  email is sent to a person, who is responsible for a client. You can also set
  a different recipient of a notification email for each check with a setting
  'contact' field in a configuration file.

  1. Configuration file

    Each configuration file for a Warden Watchdog has four important groups
    of settings. First group is clear and contains parameters such as path
    to Warden server configuration file, notification email subject and
    a email server configuration. Second group called SQL preconditions is
    an array containing SQL queries which can be executed before Warden DB
    check. Last, fourth, group called SQL postconditions is also an array
    which can contains SQL queries useful for a Warden DB clean up after
    a DB check.

    The second group in a configuration file is a different. It is an array
    of hashes with a following structure and each one performs one check.
    In a query is possible to use a '\$date' variable, which will be expanded
    by a Watchdog on a today's date.

    @sql_queries = (
      {
        query   => '<SQL query (check) on Warden DB>';
        text    => 'Text of notification email for this DB check';
        contact => '<email address>' # override contact from 'requestor' column
      }
    )

  2. Application run

    You will need just a prepared configuration file and a count of days
    back from now to the past. Warden database check from config will be
    then run in this defined time interval.

    USAGE:
      /<path_to_warden_server>/bin/wardenWatchdog.pl -c /<path_to_warden_server>/etc/WardenWatchdog.conf -i 7

    CRON USAGE:
      33  00  * * * /<path_to_warden_server>/bin/wardenWatchdog.pl -c /<path_to_warden_server>/etc/WardenWatchdog.conf -i 7 >> /tmp/wardenWatchdog_err.log
