Features

• Server Software Overview: Datagram’s SyslogServer software is capable of receiving syslog messages and parsing / storing logs in a database. It runs as a windows service, removing the need to remain logged in as a user in order to keep the socket open. A SQL database is not set up by the install process, so the user will need to configure and connect to a SQL database, and at this point, the server software supports automatic table initiation and can automatically build the schema. The software process is cut into three main parts – receiving logs and storing them as a file, parsing and inserting logs into the database, and handling alarms / backups.
• Client Software Overview: The client software connects to the server using ODBC, meaning cross-platform connections are supported. Multiple clients can connect to the server at a time. The client shows log entries in the database labeled with colors, and can show a live view of the network using automatic updating.
• Filters: There are numerous filtering options available for log operations. Some of these include host name, process, facility, severity, message, or even custom SQL queries. There is also a logical NOT gate, for discluding certain entries. You can even create filter groups, and assign devices to groups with one or more filters already configured and ready to go.
• Alarms: The alarms configuration window is quite similar to the filtering window. All the above mentioned filters are included at the top, and then alert options are beneath. Alert options include sending emails, popup notifications, and thresholds based on log frequency.

OS Compatibility

The SyslogServer software runs on Windows 2000 and newer, as does the SyslogView and SyslogAgent softwares. A SQL database is also necessary, as well as enough storage space. Datagram claims that 5 million entries use about 1 Gigabyte worth of disk space.
