SyslogView
SyslogView is the client provided to be used with the SyslogServer. The client attaches to the server with an ODBC connection, meaning that the client can be run on any workstation or server on the network. Furthermore, several clients can attach to the same SyslogServer simultaneously. The SyslogView client provides a color toned view of the log entries in the database, allowing for better overview. The displayed entries can be automatically updated, creating a "live" view of the network. | |

Quickfilters are an
efficient way to instantly adjust current presentation of the logs.
Filters for Facility, Severity, Host, Process and Time can be used,
as well as free text filters. Several filters can be combined
together. As a result, very specific filters can quickly be
configured.
Our filter tutorial describes it in
more detail.

Filters can also be saved and combined with other filters, providing even greater use. A filter could for instance be used to filter out a specific type of syslog message from a (noisy) server. The filter can be left active by default - resulting in much improved readability of interesting log entries. Filters can be complemended with user SQL syntax for the advanced users. Alarm rules are configured and inspected from SyslogView. Alarms can be defined to alert the administrator by a pop-up or email when an interesting event occurs on the network. The alarm process is handled by the server, meaning that the client does not have to be active in order for the alarms to work. | |
