Log & Event Monitoring


Logs & Traps Monitoring

Fidelia NetVigil offers a scalable log & trap monitor for parsing Unix syslogs, router syslogs, firewall logs, SNMP traps and Windows events. The web based UI, distributed & easily configurable log handler provides a central console for the entire network.

Features of this log & trap monitoring module are:

  • trigger notifications on matching patterns
  • configurable using regular expressions
  • monitor syslogs from Unix hosts, firewalls, routers
  • monitor windows events
  • monitor SNMP traps
  • acknowledge events
  • integrated with the NetVigil Status console

Correlation with other NetVigil Events

The unified NetVigil web console allows you to instantly correlate log or trap events with data from your routers or applications. An alert from a firewall about too many SYNC attacks can be correlated with high traffic utilization on a specific router to help isolate the cause of the problem. Using NetVigil's Business Containers, you can immediately correlate the impact of such problems on delivery of a service or application, hence reducing the mean time to problem resolution.

Reporting & Audit Trail - Sarbanes Oxley Compliance

The NetVigil Event Manager translates and displays events from firewalls, routers, Unix and windows servers. All events are archived in a database for extended periods to provide a clear audit trail. Furthermore, NetVigil also stores performance data collected every 5 minutes for several years using its threshold based archiving scheme.

This historical audit trail is essential for Sarbanes Oxley compliance in IT networks. Fidelia NetVigil offers a simple and extensible solution to meet Sarbanes Oxley compliance using its historical data storage and extensible reporting module.

Trigger Alerts and Notifications

The Event Manager interfaces with Fidelia's powerful Notification Engine to assign severities, and trigger notifications based on the type of event. You can send a page, email or even trigger a more complex action to react specifically to the event if desired.
