Log Consolidation Template
The Log Consolidation Template enables you to, depending on the log type, download and/or monitor entries in real-time then save entries to a centralized log database. The log database can be configured to save entries to:
- SQLite
- MySQL
- Microsoft SQL Server
- Corner Bowl Binary Flat-File
 |
When saving entries in small air-gapped networks, either SQLite or our proprietary flat-file format is more than adequate, however when saving entries in large corporate environments we suggest using either SQL Server or MySQL. |
The following log file formats are supported:
Log Database
Once entries are saved to the log database, you can find the entries in the Explorer View under the Data Providers node. Once expanded, you will find a list of hosts and logs. Right clicking on a log provides several options. For more information see: Data Provider Properties
To create a new Log Consolidation Template
- From the menu bar, select File | New | Template then expand Template | Log Management and finally select Log Consolidation. The New Template View displays.
- Use the Sub type drop-down to select the log type.
