Event Log Monitoring Software & Management

Log data provides valuable insight into the health and security of a company's IT infrastructure. Here you will be able to find the tools you need for your log management solutions.

The large volume of events generated by network devices is of great importance to companies who need to record information for compliance and to maintain a healthy IS infrastructure. Real time monitoring of the network is a growing demand that requires the ability to analyze and report on event log data. Having an event log monitoring system will allow you to address any incident or security concerns that may arise.

Monitoring the event logs can be an overwhelming task for system administrators. However there are applications that can help meet legal and regulatory event log requirements. Event log monitoring software will help automatically process and archive logs, rules and alerts can also be setup so administrators can be notified of the most important events occurring in the network.

Most systems will support a wide range of log files including; Syslog, W3C, Windows event logs, SNMP traps, firewall,router and switch logs.

Centralized Even Logging

Event Logs are constantly being generated by system events or by users. Logs are often stored locally on the device and can be located in several different locations. A Log Management System will capture event logs from multiple devices and store them centrally in one SQL database. Having event logs in one location makes them easier to manage and backup.

Auto Archive Event Logs

For compliance and responding to an incident, a large number of events may be needed for troubleshooting. A database can reach its capacity rather quickly with these types of requirements. To help with this issue Event Log Monitoring Systems will allow administrators to auto archive all events. Rules and filters can be put into place to help filter out all the junk that may not need to be saved and help save disk space.

Event Log Monitoring Alerts

Alerting is an importing feature of a log management system. Triggering actions such as a script or an email alert to one or more people is a must have in today's growing need for a healthy IT environment. The ability to generate SNMP alerts will allow a system administrator to integrate with existing monitoring mechanisms such as a Syslog server.

Granular Control of Events Logs

Event Log Monitoring helps you manage a wide range of systems and devices by enabling you to see all event logs in one central location. Administrators can obtain information from different network devices and Windows Machines with a better level of granular control. Information can be processed by tagging log files and deciding what to do with that information based on certain rules defined by the administrator. These features help stream line the management of event logs.
