Add-On Components

Top  Previous  Next

There are a number of optional components available as free downloads.

 

All optional components work with the MonitorWare common database format.

 

 

InterActive SyslogViewer

 

The InterActive SyslogViewer is a Windows GUI application receiving and displaying Syslog events. It is a Syslog server in its own right. Typically, it is used in conjunction with the WinSyslog service, but it can also be used as a stand-alone Syslog server.

 

The InterActive SyslogViewer replaces the Interactive display from the pre 4.0 release WinSyslog Client. It was brought into a separate program because there was some confusion about the interactive display in the past.

 

Though it is not a core component, it is included in the MonitorWare Agent install set.

 

 

Adiscon LogAnalyzer

 

Adiscon LogAnalyzer is a convenient facility to access MonitorWare gathered events over the web. All major browsers are supported.

 

Adiscon LogAnalyzer is an easy to use solution for browsing Syslog messages, Windows event log data and other network events over the web. Adiscon LogAnalyzer enables the system administrator to quickly and easily review his central log repository. It provides views typically used on log data. It integrates with web resources for easy analysis of data found in the logs.

 

Mainly it helps to have quick overview over current system activity and accessing the log data while not being able to access the administrator workstation (e.g. being on the road or roaming through the enterprise). While originally initiated to work in conjunction with Adiscon's MonitorWare product line, it can easily be modified to work with other solutions as well.

 

Adiscon LogAnalyzer is included in the MonitorWare Agent install set. It gets copied onto machine but not installed. For installation of Adiscon LogAnalyzer, refer to the installation instructions in the doc folder of Adiscon LogAnalyzer or see the online manual at

MonitorWare Console

 

MonitorWare Console facilitates the network administrators to gather valuable information about their networks and offers them strong analytical abilities with which they can examine their network proficiently against countless problems including security breaches. Using the Views and Reporting Modules of the MonitorWare Console, you can find the problematic areas in your network very efficiently and promptly. As a network administrator, you would not only like to find the problems but also their solutions. MonitorWare Console's Knowledge Base Module is exactly meant for this purpose. In short, MonitorWare Console is a very powerful tool that facilitates the Network Administrators to scrutinize their networks from tip to toe and gives an in-depth perspective about what's going on in their system.

LogZip

 

Adiscon LogZip is a command line tool for Windows for zipping logfiles. It's sole purpose is to pick up log files and put them into a zip file in a location that is specified. By running on the command line, it can be easily used with the Windows Tast Scheduler. That way you can automatically archive and store unneeded logfiles in a different location, only keeping the recent logfiles available for review.

 

LogZip is written in .NET, so please ensure, that you have the .NET framework from Microsoft installed. Else, the tool will not work.

LogViewer

 

The Log Viewer tool is able to process very large log files. Other tools often have problems with files large than 100 MB. With Adiscon's Log Viewer there isn't even an issue with files larger than 1 GB. In fact it works with 5 GB almost as fast as with 5 MB files. A special help for reviewing the logs is the highlighting option. Define rules for highlighting any keyword or phrase which should be especially marked while reviewing. These terms can be associated with a color, bold text or similar. E.g. "error" appear in bold text and red color.
