A Centralized
Log Monitoring Solution
There are two components to LogMeister products:
- The application front end which is used for configuration purposes and
for log viewing and analysis.
- The (optional) service component that runs in the background and monitors
your network's logs even when no one is logged onto the host computer.

Log Data is processed as follows:
- Data is retrieved from logs on the host machine and any networked
computer either in real-time or according to schedule.
- Apply filters to eliminate noise
events and ensure that only items of interest are presented.
- Define
notification criteria to ensure that you are alerted and/or specific
action is taken should
a specific items (or entry patterns) apear in logs.
- Data can optionally be held in LogMeister's internal
store for viewing and analysis. Merge data from disparate
logs
for time-line analysis, apply filters, sort, create multiple snapshots
of data and peform side-by-side analysis. You can generate a report
(predefined or custom) for any given view of data.
- Generate reports and export data in a variety
of formats (including custom formats). This can be on demand, according
to schedule or when internal stores reach a given size.
No Agents Required on Monitored PC's
As LogMeister is a centralized
monitoring solution there is no need to install agents on monitored
PC's and servers. This results
in:
- Reduced maintenance (a single installation to maintain).
- Reduced license fees (monitor as many
servers and logs as you like without the need to purchase additional
licenses).
- Improved security (no remote agents that can be tampered
with).
