Syslog Watcher is a solution for collecting syslog messages. This is a high-performance and functional syslog server. Microsoft Windows has no built-in syslog server; therefore, our product fills this gap. Syslog Watcher stores the syslog messages in a special storage.
It is a specially optimized type of database. The syslog storage is designed by taking into account the specific requirements of syslog server. The diagram below shows the positive performance of the program. Syslog Watcher provides a comfortable work environment while displaying up to a million syslog messages.
The vendors of devices and program developers often do not follow the RFC3164 standard. In other words, syslog messages that a syslog server receives may not be correctly recognized based only on the specification. Especially, frequent cases have a non-standard format of the date and additional tag (e.g., origin-id). Our pride is in the intellectual parser of syslog content. This syslog parser attempts to determine the type of syslog source and correctly handle many deviations from the standard.
With syslog server you can:
- collect syslog messages from:
— firewalls / switches / routers / modems
— network hosts and servers (Windows, Unix, Linux, etc.)
— syslog forwarders (e.g., from Windows EventLog)
— any syslog enabled devices and software
- recognize some vendor-specific formats
- store syslog from entire network in one place
- view collected syslog anytime
- analyze syslog for troubleshooting
- export syslog to CSV or XML
- be notified of every new syslog message
- extract additional info from message contents
- generate syslog reports
