Download file name: LogAnalyzer 3.2.2 (v3-stable)

Changes:

  • Implemented support to use User or Group configured logstream sources in commandline report generator (cmdreportgen.php). The Report Admin will generate an additional parameter for the sample commandline: userid=$uid or groupid=$gid
  • Fixed syntaxlogic bugs in proxy utilisation, thanks to forum member Pierre: http://kb.monitorware.com/post-t10570.html#p20033
  • Fixed ignoring “IPAddressResolve” setting when “EnableContextLinks” was disabled.
  • Added check in core function to automatically remove MagicQuotes (via “magic_quotes_gpc” setting).
  • Added support to search for full phrases instead of words only. Kindly use Quotes to mark the start and end of a phrase, for example:
    “Search for this”     // Searches for full phrase
    -“Search for this”    // Excludes full phrase
  • Report admin:
    • Fixed saving custom filterstring if new report was created or the previous custom filterstring was empty.
    • Fixed filter editor issues when full phrase strings (with spaces) were configured.
    • Fixed error in parsing include/exclude filters for numeric fields in report admin panel. Changes in the main filter parser were also necessary to fix this issue.
  • Fixed filter detection bug in report class which could lead to problems with certain filter evaluations.

Running LogAnalyzer on IIS7

The usual user of Adiscon LogAnalyzer is using it on a Apache Webserver. But on the other hand, there are some customers who want to use it on IIS. Though, it is not ideally optimized for IIS, it still works. Unfortunately, the installation process is not entirely straight forward and installing PHP (which is a requirement) might give one or another a rather hard time. Now, fortunately, we found a very easy way to get things set up correctly, which we want to show. Continue reading “Running LogAnalyzer on IIS7”

Using rsyslog mmnormalize module effectively with Adiscon LogAnalyzer

Using the mmnormalize module in rsyslog is a bit complicated at first. We want to describe in this article how to set up the basic components for using log normalization. In addition to that we will show how to configure these components so messages will be split into pieces of information. These pieces of information should then be written into a database for review with Adiscon LogAnalyzer. Continue reading “Using rsyslog mmnormalize module effectively with Adiscon LogAnalyzer”

How to create automated daily/weekly reports?

Wouldn’t it be nice to get the reports in a preconfigured time interval, for example every day or every week?

The reports module is integrated since version 3 of LogAnalyzer. It supports HTML and PDF output and can be fully parameterized. For example, Adiscon LogAnalyzer can be used to analyze user account logons over a specific time frame, system and network errors can be identified or a status report of the whole network be generated. And at it bests: once configured, reports can be sent automatically by email in a daily, weekly or custom interval. Continue reading “How to create automated daily/weekly reports?”
