| [HELP] SysLog Server We are wanting to implement syslog server into our current environment. Prior to this we had a free version of some syslog server (dont know the name) and it is a mess. Everything is writing to one file so the only way of figuring out what went wrong is to look at that hugeee file and look for the source ip address Pain in the behind. It took me almost 3 full days to find the problem. We have well over 1500 network devices out there.
Is there a good syslog server that can give me the ability to sort by IP address, device, hostname, etc?
Thanks |

I really like the Syslog server that's built into CactiEZ. You can get CactiEZ to email you alerts based on what the syslog server collects. You can look at the syslog through the web interface for all the devices at once or filter it down to single devices.

Not to divert this thread, but does anyone know of a some software that would read a growing text file (log file) and then email me based on when a certain string is found? In this case the output is not coming from something that is syslog capable. |

Sorry, I should have specified, something that runs on Windows - it's not realistic to setup a Linux box just for this. |

You can give LogZilla a try. It is extremely fast and dirt cheap compared to the other solutions in this class. It can easily scale to the levels you need. |

virtualbox works wonders.
if you have a spare "desk" pc that just serves as an internet browser/music player -- just spin up a linux vm -- run it on the background with 512meg of ram -- kill the graphics, start the services, and *boom* -- instant syslog box.

said by krock83:Is there a good syslog server that can give me the ability to sort by IP address, device, hostname, etc? In the elcheapo column, I suspect some variant of *nix and GREP would be an option, or exporting the logs as CSV files
and manipulating that way.
Otherwise, I'll have to look into some of the options offered in the thread myself.

Syslog Watcher Pro I would recommend Syslog Watcher Pro from »www.snmpsoft.com/
A reliable windows syslog server that seems fully featured and great value for money at $200 for unlimited clients (free 5 client licence for personal use). |
