Many syslog servers store messages in local files, resulting in decentralization.
Syslog servers write events to different files based on facility, further adding complexity.
Finding events, configuring alerts, and setting policies become more challenging as infrastructure expands.
● Send events from your servers, workstations, printers, routers, and other devices or services directly to our cloud syslog service.
● Create an endpoint and start sending log events immediately.
● Transmit logs over HTTPS or via TCP/UDP and include an API token for greater security.
SolarWinds Papertrail supports both RFC 5424 and RFC 3164 for compatibility with different syslog implementations, libraries, and frameworks.
SolarWinds Papertrail consolidates your syslog messages into a single location. Instead of hunting through files in /var/log, use the Log Viewer to see all of your log messages simultaneously.
● Filter logs based on date, sender, facility, priority, or message content.
● Create alerts to detect and notify you of application errors, hardware failures, or other high-priority events.
● Avoid manually configuring each of your logging components.
● Manage policies for your entire infrastructure from a single location.
● Enable log archiving to save log data hourly in a compressed JSON file for up to one year, supporting compliance requirements and simplifying security incident investigations.
