Search logs easily from your browser
Logstorage allows you to search your log files through a simple browser
interface.
You can even combine multiple search conditions to create complex searches. Key
features include:
- Search archived logs (Zip files)
- Index to allow faster searches
- Condition-based search (8 types of condition)
- From/to dates (required)
- Free keyword
- Log host address
- Application
- Tag
- Facility
- Priority
- Process ID
- Combine search conditions using AND, OR
- Restrict search using regular expressions, NOT, "Greater than", "Less than",
"Starts with"
- Search within previous search results ('tracking' feature)
Drill down within search results ('tracking' feature)
When you click on any data within a search result, the system will
automatically re-run the search, this time restricting the search domain to show only
results containing that data. You can also add highlighting to search results,
allowing you to easily spot important log entries.
Log statistics (optional module)
Using the statistics module you can compile log statistics, even for logs of
many different formats. For example you can view statistics on the number of
accesses per user, the number of accesses to a particular file, error log statistics,
etc.
This incredibly flexible and powerful module allows you to create a wide
variety of statistics. It's possible to use raw figures, maxima, minima, averages,
totals and standard deviations in your calculations. The results can be shown as
a table, bar graph, line graph or pie chart.
Sensors & alerts (optional module)
It is possible to set up sensors that continuously watch incoming logs. If, for
example, an unauthorised access occurs on your network or one of your
applications suffers a fatal error, the system will instantly send you an alert. Alerts
can take the form of an SNMP trap, an email and/or a user-specified command.
Reporting (optional module)
Using this module you can output the results of searches and statistics as a
report. Reports can be executed immediately or scheduled to be executed at
regular intervals. Available report formats include text, CSV, PDF and HTML. It is
also possible to create custom reports in any desired format.
Automatic log archiving (approx. 90% compression)
Past logs can be compressed and stored for a long time (from 1 year to 3
years or longer). Compressed logs can be searched directly without the need for
decompression, using the "archive search" feature. Regular archiving and automatic
deletion of old logs can be set up.
Log format definitions
You can set up any number of log format definitions, which tell the system what
each part of a given log message means. Using tags, meaning can be attached to a
log message, allowing you to restrict searches to a particular application,
create statistics comparing applications, etc.
Log verification
By attaching digital signatures to log files, it is possible to spot any
alterations to logs and to verify that logs are complete.
Access control
By defining users and groups, you can have fine-grained control over who can
view logs and who can perform which actions within Logstorage.
Scalability
With support for distributed operation and redundant servers, it is possible
to manage logs even for very large-scale systems.
Log collection
Log files such as those output by Apache and Oracle are supported by
Logstorage, as are Windows event logs and many other log formats. In fact, Logstorage
can collect and manage textual logs in absolutely any format. There are three main
log collection methods:
1. Syslog collection
Logs transmitted over the network using the Syslog protocol can be collected.
2. Realtime log collection using Agent
Our specially designed Logstorage Agent (available in Java and .NET versions)
can retrieve logs which are stored as local files on terminals and transmit them
in real-time to the Logstorage system.
3. Periodic log collection by FTP
Logs stored as local files on terminals can be periodically sent to the
Logstorage system using any standard FTP client.
