Hi all,
I am in the process of reviewing policies and procedures for the monitoring
of the network, its usage, problems etc and wondered what other thought on
the subject. I am, for example, thinking that the following would be a good
start:
Weekly report of internet usage including basic stats and general details
about attempted access to prohibited sites
Weekly report of technical support queries and any difficult issues.
Monthly report on the general state of the systems - issues to be aware of
I am not trying to make work for the sake of it, however I do want to ensure
that I am fully aware of what issues are being faced to be best placed to
help with developing solutions etc.
All comments as always gratefully received.
Thanks,
Colin
