SyslogServer
The server software receives syslog messages, parses them, and stores the entries in a database. Two editions are available - Free Edition and Enterprise Edition. SyslogServer is run as a Windows service. The free edition uses an Access file as a database. It is easily installed and swift enough for smaller business, but not larger installations. The Enterprise Edition communicates via ODBC to a real database. Any fully compatible ODBC database can therefore be used. Automatic table initiation is supported for Microsoft SQL. |

The SyslogServer is easily installed and configured from the interface seen to the right. Settings concerning backup, mail gateways, log files and database credentials are all handled here. |

The SyslogServer software consists of three logical parts.
The first part receives and stores Syslog messages to file
using a high priority process. No parsing or database insertion is done
at this point as that could cause receiving performace penalties. This design
enables very high receive performance.
The second component parses and inserts the messages into the database. The third component is responsible for the alarm handling, backup and optimisation tasks. The alarm configuration is done in the SyslogView application. SyslogServer also provides support for backup handling and/or removal of old entries, and database optimization. |
