Enterprise Server Log Management System - Server Log Monitoring Use case type 1 0 Features Array Item - features item image

No matter the size of your network, you have log data coming from different sources and formats. Having log formats that vary from plain text to HTML can be difficult to analyze, especially when you’re trying to find a specific log among hundreds.

SolarWinds^® Log Analyzer can help solve this problem with a log file viewer built to collect, normalize, consolidate, and help you analyze log data from SNMP traps, syslogs, Windows events, and VMware events. The tool can also allow you to filter and search through the data quicker to more easily perform root cause analysis.

Do you find yourself asking…

Why should I use a log file viewer?
How to view log file details
How does the log file viewer work in Log Analyzer?

Whether you’re using an application log file viewer, large log file viewer, or any other type of viewer, a log file viewer can help make log data easier to understand by parsing and organizing log files to be easier for you to find, analyze, and resolve issues when they occur.

By simplifying the log monitoring and management process, a log file viewer is a tool designed to make it easier to access and understand the log files constantly being created across your network and systems.

Log files are a form of automatically generated, time-stamped documentation of the events that occur within a system. Practically all systems and software applications generate logs, and logs come in a wide variety of forms, including audit logs, transaction logs, access logs, and more.

The purpose of log files is to create a detailed account of what’s happening behind the scenes, so if a problem occurs, you can access a detailed list of the events within your system surrounding the issue. Log data can help you drill down to the root cause and accelerate troubleshooting.

Of course, benefitting from logs can depend on your ability to make sense of the file. That’s where a log file viewer comes in. With a lot of logs being generated every minute, manually keeping track can be impossible. With a log file viewer, you can more easily organize and filter logs to only see the ones you need to help keep your network running optimally. By aggregating your logs in a single place and providing ways to search, filter, and view log data, a log file viewer can help you simplify and streamline log management and monitoring processes.

SolarWinds Log Analyzer is a log file viewer and log management solution designed to help you transform your network and system log data into actionable insights to help you improve performance.

In addition to collecting and aggregating logs to make them easier to view and understand, Log Analyzer includes analysis and management features for all-around log support.

When it comes to log file viewer capabilities, Log Analyzer comes with intuitive, out-of-the-box filters you can use to more easily get to the bottom of performance issues.

The tool is designed to let you search through logs with its powerful search engine while also letting you refine your log data, so you aren’t overwhelmed by the hundreds and thousands of log entries constantly coming in.

The log viewer software also comes with an interactive log stream view specifically designed to make it easier to visualize data. You can use the chart to search through filter results, visualize log volume, and even refine timeframes.

Key views to focus on when using the log file viewer software in SolarWinds Log Analyzer include:

Filters: This shows you the filters you can apply to your log events. You can select the filters you want and then the log viewer will refresh to show you the log events that fit the filter parameters. Use filters to display logs based on IP address, node, vendor, event type, and more.
Events: The events table is where the logs (both live and historical) that match your selected filters appear. When you’re in Live Mode, log events can stream right into the viewer as they occur.
Histogram: The software’s histogram chart offers a graphical representation of the number of logs processed during a specific time. You can refine your search results by clicking on a section of the histogram and viewing the logs more closely.
Entry Details: This displays more detailed information about the last event you selected in the events table.

Since Log Analyzer is integrated into the Orion Platform, you can also gain even more insight into your log data by viewing it alongside system and network performance metrics collected by other SolarWinds tools within the Orion Platform. You can even view the data side-by-side to see the physical and logical relationships between entities monitored by the Orion Platform. Unifying this data can help you dive even deeper into network and system performance by gaining greater context around your individual log entries, which can help you understand what additional factors may be affecting performance.
