FAQ: Questions, meet answers.

  • Straightforward licensing

    No need for complex volume calculations; the SolarWinds Log Analyzer software’s licensing is based on the number of devices generating log data, regardless of volume.

  • Simple setup

    Syslog and SNMP Traps

    The steps vary between vendors; however, simply configure your SolarWinds Orion server as your logging destination on your device.

    Windows Events

    To collect Windows events, simply deploy the Orion agent to the server you intend to collect logs from. For more information about deploying the Orion agent, read the following Knowledgebase Articles.

    VMware Events

    To collect VMware events, Log Analyzer users will need a paid license of SolarWinds Virtualization Manager (VMAN). There are two processes for collecting VMware events.

    If setting up VMAN for the first time, simply add the VMware vCenter or Standalone ESXI host as a virtual device during setup. The entities will automatically register as a VMWare events source.

    For existing VMAN users, simply upgrade to VMAN 8.4 with the VMware Events Add-on selected.

  • Consolidate logs from multiple sources

    SolarWinds Log Analyzer currently supports syslog, SNMP traps, Windows flat log files, Windows events, and VMware events.

  • Keep your data as long as you want

    Data is stored in the SolarWinds Log Analyzer SQL database for seven days by default; however, this can be easily configured within the product settings.

  • Two great options
    Some features and capabilities of Log Analyzer are available for no additional cost when paired with a license of SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor or Server & Application Monitor.

  • If you’ve got logs, we’ve got a log monitoring tool
    Whether you are in IT ops, infrastructure, monitoring, or DevOps, SolarWinds has the right log monitoring and management tool for you.

Monitor critical log data in real-time to aid in troubleshooting

Your infrastructure continuously generates log data to provide performance insights, and monitoring logs in real-time can help give you the immediate insight you need. Whether it is syslog, SNMP traps, or monitoring Windows event logs, these log files can provide the critical pieces of insight you need to help with troubleshooting. Monitoring, collecting, consolidating, and analyzing log information using one tool can help you find root causes faster. SolarWinds Log Analyzer was designed to be the log management and analysis software you need to help keep your network and business up and running.

Filter your log data to find entries faster

Log Analyzer can help you easily filter your monitored log data. Once you collect the logs, you can refine them via intuitive, out-of-the-box filters. Using the powerful search engine built into Log Analyzer, you can quickly find the log entries of interest and save valuable time.

Visualize data via an interactive chart

Log Analyzer is designed to give you the capability to quickly visualize log volume, search results, and refine timeframes via an interactive chart. Since our log management software is integrated into the Orion Platform of products, you can seamlessly integrate the log data you’ve monitored and collected with Log Analyzer into the Orion Platform console, so you can view it alongside network and systems performance metrics. Unifying your log monitoring data and infrastructure performance can help give you a clearer view of your network’s performance.
