Syslog Watcher is a Windows solution for managing logs generated by routers, switches, firewalls and servers connected to the local network environment. Additionally, you can configure email and desktop notifications based on specific conditions to guarantee timely responses.

Data collection

With the help of this software users are able to automatically gather logs from network devices. There is support for both IPv4 and IPv6 communication protocols to expand compatibility with legacy and modern hardware.

Similar to Cisco Security Manager, you can monitor syslog messages in real time, quickly detecting potential issues. Powerful filtering instruments enable instant analysis of individual entries. Moreover, it is possible to visualize raw data points as charts and graphs for better understanding of emerging trends. Personalized dashboards tailored to specific operational needs may be created as well.

Management tools

There is an option to consolidate error messages from multiple devices into a single repository. This reduces complexity and ensures that logs are securely stored for compliance and auditing purposes. Furthermore, users are able to set alerts for critical security events and send them via:

Email;
SNMP traps;
Other communication channels.
