Overview

Kemp, Inc. offers solutions for load balancing and application delivery software built on a bespoke Linux operating system marketed as LoadMaster. The Kemp LoadMaster is available as both a hardware appliance and a software-based load balancer. It optimizes web infrastructure in terms of high availability, performance, scalability, ease of management, and security.

Netsurion facilitates monitoring events retrieved from the Kemp Load Balancer. Netsurion’s managed threat protection platform, EventTracker, seamlessly handles SIEM, log management, file integrity monitoring, machine analytics, and user performance monitoring.

Netsurion Knowledge Pack for Kemp Load Balancer allows you to monitor the following components:

• Security - It provides alerts for specific malicious activities.
• Compliance - It provides a detailed report on respective event types like user logon activities, authentication failure activities, interface activities (Up or Down), directory activities, traffic activities, and suspicious activities.

After Kemp LoadMaster forwards the logs to EventTracker Manager via syslog, configure the alerts, dashboards, and reports into EventTracker.

Scope

The configuration details are consistent with EventTracker version 9.3 and later, and Kemp LoadMaster v7.2.56.2 and later.
