Auditing Volume Analyzer

Provided by Dorian Software, the Auditing Volume Analyzer is a freeware utility offered to assist administrators in estimating the amount of event log data being generated on a given network.

The only requirements to use the software are a Microsoft Windows NT / 2000 / XP / 2003 system and a user account with local administrator or domain administrator rights, depending on the network structure.

The biggest benefit to using the Auditing Volume Analyzer is in capturing an accurate picture of the storage demands associated with preserving event log data over time. Most network professionals have no easy way of estimating the amount of event log data produced by their servers and workstations. Because of this, administrators may not fully comprehend the disk and database storage requirements to retain that data over time to satisfy the auditing requirements of federal acts like HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, and Gramm-Leach-Bliley. Fortunately, Dorian Software's Auditing Volume Analyzer quickly produces a comprehensive report that network administrators can give to management when building their case for additional resources.
