Trusted by engineering teams worldwide

The Logit.io Syslog viewer built hosted ELK on makes analyzing Syslog data less complicated by allowing you to aggregate logs from various data sources into a single, centralized location. It also enables you to convert all messages into a structured logging format to improve sorting and searching through the log files, which is especially useful when dealing with data from different systems and apps.

Managing Syslog logs is a challenge many businesses face regardless of size or technical infrastructure. In a complex system, where numerous endpoints are sending in data and log files at different rates, all varying in types, format, and urgency, it is important to have a centralised analysis system in order to not miss critical notices and notifications.

Our centralized Syslog viewer is designed with ease of use and accessibility in mind, allowing you to manage and enforce global policies on your system's log recording and notification standards. Our real-time monitoring & alerting allows you to stay on top of all occurrences within your network. This makes it far easier to detect errors and security incidents early on and react properly before the damage becomes more widespread.

Logit.io's Syslog reader is just a single feature within our wider enterprise log management platform & is designed with flexibility and scalability in mind. Our platform can be used by any individuals or teams, that need detailed and immediate insight into their system's data; from security experts to software engineers and technicians, thanks to the diverse range of possible data source inputs and outputs in the form of data visualisations and reports.

What Is a Syslog Viewer?

A Syslog is a standard network-based logging protocol that sends events. A Syslog viewer is a way to access that data and manipulate it to extract the most noteworthy data.

Logit.io's Syslog viewer ensures that no critical incidents or events are lost in the sea of routine log entries that often create background noise.

The more efficient the filtering, notification, and viewing systems are, the more accurate and beneficial information you can extract from your systems without wasting time or suffering from notification fatigue.

Real-time Monitoring and Analytics

Our Syslog reader and viewer allows you to monitor and view incoming log entries as they are generated by the system.

You also do not have to wait for crash reports and error messages informing you of what went wrong. Instead, you can search through the incoming flow of data and filter the results for any indication of vulnerability or errors when troubleshooting.

Because our Syslog analysis platform is cloud-based, your data findings are not limited locally. You can share specific reports, visualisations and saved searches easily with the rest of your team without having to worry about poorly defined role-based access controls.

Alerts and Notifications

Manually searching and sifting your Syslog log data for insights only works in slower-paced working environments, but does not help much when your team needs to respond as fast as possible to incidents, errors, and security threats.

Logit.io's Syslog analysis platform lets you set up alerts that look for log entries and messages that meet certain criteria, whether it is an error or a security incident, and send a notification to your engineering team.

Logit.io's Syslog viewer's custom alerts and notification system ensures that every notification and alert that reaches you is one of utmost importance (as you have defined it), allowing you to focus your resources and attention on solving the most critical incidents instead of constantly working on minor errors and routine log entries.

Whatever your policy classifies as an important incident, Logit.io lets you customise alerts and notifications either globally to include all systems, or to differ depending on the data source.
