Note: The PureMessage Monitor is an advanced
tool that should only be implemented with the assistance of Sophos Support or Sophos Professional Services. Attempting to configure and
implement this feature on your own may result in failure of your PureMessage system.
The PureMessage Monitor is a component that allows
administrators to monitor the message_log for specified patterns, set
thresholds per pattern that will trigger action events when those thresholds are exceeded, and
react to those action events by performing one of the following specified actions:
- Notify specified recipients via customizable email messages.
- Add an entry to a specified log file.
- Add an entry to a specified PureMessage list (for
example, add an IP address to the blocked senders list).
- Temporarily add an entry to a specified PureMessage
list.
