FAQs for syslog at Auvik
What is syslog?
Syslog is a standard protocol that allows network devices like routers and switches to send log messages to a central server so you can more easily monitor events happening across your network. Centralizing logs means you don’t lose visibility when a device reboots.
What is the difference between event log and syslog?
An event log records device activity locally on one machine, while syslog sends logs from devices across your network to a central server using an open logging protocol so you can analyze logs for all devices in one place.
What is a syslog server?
A syslog server is simply a centralized place that collects syslog messages from network devices; with syslog software the server enables you to easily search and analyze logs from all devices on your network in one location.
Why should I use syslog in Auvik?
Using syslog in Auvik allows you to troubleshoot faster by accessing device logs directly from device dashboards alongside topology, metrics, and configurations so you have the full context to resolve issues quickly. If you’ve hit a dead end with your troubleshooting, syslog might provide the answer.
How does syslog monitoring help improve network security?
Centralized syslog monitoring helps improve network security by enabling rapid investigation and providing audit-quality records required for compliance.
What types of devices and systems can be integrated with syslog management software?
Syslog management software like Auvik can collect syslog data from essentially any network device (routers, switches, firewalls, servers) as well as security devices, operating systems, applications, databases, and custom log sources.
