Syslog Monitoring is Included in Lumics
The syslog monitoring you need is included with the Lumics Base license, so there is no need to pay for a separate syslog monitoring solution. This not only saves you money, but also gives you the added capability to see syslog data alongside other data on our custom dashboards and reports so you can troubleshoot very quickly.
Lumics syslog allows for up to 100K logs per device per day, pooled across all your syslog devices. If you have one device sending a lot more syslog data than another device, but combined the two devices send less than 200K logs total you won’t exceed the allowed volume. This creative pricing flexibility allows most of our customers to get all the syslog data they need without incurring overages – a unique feature of Lumics’ pricing model.
Search syslog Instantly
Lumics aggregates, indexes, and organizes syslog data so that searches are instant. Find the specific device, user, or other critical information very quickly, with the ability to jump to the device and drill down into related data points easily.

See related data points for the same timeframe to get the big picture about what was happening in the system and what actions specific users were taking.
