Monitoring settings:

On this page, you can decide what kind of information you want STARR to log. The following examples are based on the interactive HTML report: 

Visual Monitoring:

 
Screenshot: STARR takes picture of the PC desktop just like a surveillance camera. Click on the screenshot to enlarge it. When planning your security setup. you should keep in mind that screenshots occupy much more hard disk space then the text logs (see below.)

Note: The screenshots are completed embedded in the interactive HTML log file, thus you can search for specific screenshots with keywords ! Only STARR offers this "Searchable Screenshots™" feature can save you plenty of time when reviewing the reports. 

Text Monitoring:

STARR records text transcipts of all important activities:

 

1. Keystrokes: Logs what is typed on the keyboard. If the backspace key is used to delete text this is indicated with the <BS> sign.
Dear Sirs,
we want to order 10<BS><BS>30 copies of SD<BS>TARR for our company.
Regards, Irene Wang

2. Application titles. The title of the front application is logged whenever it changes. In the HTML report, a green background is used for the first appearance. If the title subsequently changes but the application is still the same, the title is shown with a yellowish background. The third value, [1:05] in this example indicates how long the application was used before the user switched to the next application. In this case, Word was used with the "cv" document for one hour and five minutes. In the spreadsheet type report, you can use this value to easily create lists of the "TOP 5" used applications and similar evaluations.

[05/15/2001 | 18:19:26] [00:17] Microsoft Word: resume.doc

2a. Application path: the path of the current front application. 
Path: c:\Program Files\Office\msword.exe
x
2b. Window class: The "class" of the current front window. This is a technical information generated by the operating system. This information is useful for support professionals that use STARR to trouble-shoot a PC problem. 
[Class: IEFrame]
x
3. Time stamp: Useful to monitor working habits. STARR will "stamp" the log files even if no other activities occur, e.g. while you are out for lunch. You can set the time interval of the "stamp" in minutes.
Time Stamp:  12:17:45 / 02.14.2000 
x
4. Edit boxes of popup's or applications. This logs the content of the (typically) "white" boxes in a popup or the content of simple text editors such as notepad.
