Syslog Server

Syslog Server is a tool dedicated to network administrators, providing a robust server based on the Syslog standard, specialized in event logging. Its goal is to monitor devices and collect Syslog messages across the whole LAN infrastructure.

By default, the application uses the 514 port, starting the server and awaiting for receiving messages as soon as it is launched. Events can be viewed by the source host, severity or facility.

In the first case, messages are sorted by their origin, whereas the 'Severity' mode groups them by their importance and the effect they have on the system. The latter calssification method organizes messages based on their purpose (related to network management, security, mail system and so on). The filtering options assist you in finding the desired record.

Clicking on an event displays detailed information about it in the designated section of the GUI; you can view the receival time, the host name and IP address, the category and purpose, as well as the assigned urgency level.

Syslog Server can be configured to exclusively log events that have a certain priority. For instance, the logging threshold can be represented by alert messages, which require immediate attention. It allows you to set the time period messages are kept, depending on their severity category.

The application features email alerting, a setting that notifies you via email about newly received messages. Urgent matters that require immediate action can be handled with the help of macros (regex expressions).

Syslog Server helps you take control of your network, allowing you to view Syslog messages as they are transmitted and take immediate actions to fix critical errors and serious problems.
