Proofpoint Smart Search

Enterprise-class log search, message tracing and analysis

Proofpoint Smart Search helps you rapidly trace both inbound and outbound messages, analyze how messages were processed by the Proofpoint system and report on the disposition and status of any email message. With Proofpoint Smart Search, email administrators or IT helpdesk staff can instantly locate messages, understand how they were handled and quickly respond to a wide variety of email troubleshooting or investigation requests.

Real-time, consolidated log indexing

Proofpoint Smart Search can locate any message across your entire Proofpoint deployment in seconds. Proofpoint Smart Search consolidates logs from all Proofpoint agents - even across globally deployed clusters - and indexes them for rapid searching. Logs from multiple sources are automatically correlated for a 360-degree view of message handling and disposition. Log information is continuously updated so that - within minutes of a message's receipt or transmission - details about that message can be found using Proofpoint Smart Search's easy-to-use GUI. Proofpoint Smart Search is architected for integration with non-Proofpoint messaging systems, allowing you to consolidate logs from your entire messaging system including downstream mail servers, encryption servers and other gateway devices. Messages can be traced across your entire messaging infrastructure.

Empower IT helpdesk staff

Proofpoint Smart Search can be used by IT helpdesk staff to answer the most common email troubleshooting and investigation requests, without requiring any special training or access to your Proofpoint systems. When deployed as a separate appliance, the powerful search and analysis capabilities of Proofpoint Smart Search can be used without impacting the performance of your mission critical email systems, because it can operate independently of other Proofpoint email filtering agents.

Powerful, easy-to-use search interface

Proofpoint Smart Search features a convenient web-based interface for browsing and searching message information. A search results pane translates data from raw message logs into easy-to-read, actionable information. Results show message time, sender, recipient, subject and all filter actions. Drill-down on individual messages to expose a detailed view that includes the Proofpoint rules that were triggered, Proofpoint message dispositions, MTA dispositions, destination IP address and much more. Message data can also be viewed in its original, raw log format.
