SolarWinds Syslog Server
Syslog Server
The Syslog Server tool from SolarWinds listens for incoming Syslog messages on UDP port 514 and then decodes the messages for logging purposes. With the SolarWinds Syslog Server tool you can also send Syslog messages to another syslog server. This feature is commonly used to add messages manually to a remote syslog database during a system upgrade or while troubleshooting a network problem.
Robust Syslog Filtering
SolarWinds Syslog Server application includes extensive filtering capability. Syslog messages can be filtered based on priority including: Alert, Critical, Error, Warning, etc. Additionally The SolarWinds Syslog Server filters can be configured to accept Kernel Messages, System Daemon, User-Lever Messages, UUCP Subsystem , FTP Server, and dozens of others.
Syslog messaging was originally used on UNIX systems for application, network and operating-system logging. Many network devices can now also be configured to generate Syslog messages. For details on enabling Syslog message on a particular device, refer to the vendor’s documentation.
