Probably the last follow-up for today. Somehow my subscriptions seem to have been out of order, else I would have subscribed earlier
First, let me start with that MonitorWare is remote accessible, but you need to have registry access to the remote machine (the remote client uses that interface). It's reporting components are not as strong as is needed for enterprises, but this is changing
As a free part of the MonitorWare line, we have begun to develop a GPLed, web based analysis, searching and graphing front-end for syslog and other network event data. It is called
phpLogCon and plays nicely with the
MonitorWare Agent and
EventReporter products, which collect various data sources on Windows machines. For obvious reasons, it also works well with
WinSyslog, a syslog server for Windows, and
rsyslog, a GPLed syslogd replacement on *nix.
PhpLogCon can process data stored in a various databases (MySQL, Postgres, Oracle, ...) but also from plain text files - so you can simply point it to log files if you would like to have a quick look at them. Of course it is not perfect and it is currently being actively developed. Feedback on the tool (or the tool family) is appreciate. For a quick glimpse, you can check out the demo site at
http://demo.phplogcon.org.
