Vigitron Inc., the globally renowned provider of complete network solutions designed for IP/PoE products, has announced the release of their Vigitron Network Syslog Capture program. This Windows-based program will capture communications from any network-connected device capable of generating Syslog messages.
The result is the ability to monitor connected devices and know status changes and problems. Logs can be copied and saved to files in Notepad, Word, and Excel.
Syslog
Network devices that have the ability to communicate their status will usually use two different methods
Network devices that have the ability to communicate their status will usually use two different methods. One is SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). The word ‘simple’ is somewhat miss-used here. There are no standards for SNMP format and it requires that the MIB (Management Information Base) be compatible between the device generating the message and the receiver, which is usually in the form of a software trap.
Syslog is standard, both in the communications port (Port 514) and in the communications between the device generating the messages and the software receiver. All managed switches and other managed network devices generate Syslog messages. The network switch setup is simple, consisting of only confirming Port 514 and entering the IP address of the computer running the program.
Easy, effective method to monitor network health
Neil Heller, the Vice President of Business Development at Vigitron, Inc., said “Vigitron’s Syslog Capture program is another example of Vigitron’s commitment to providing easy and effective methods to monitor network health.”
Neil Heller adds, “Our VSCP adds to our NetObserver complete network monitoring and NeTester installation, commissioning and testing software programs. The VSCP is free, continuing Vigitron’s commitment to supporting customers of all types, with educational programs and software, resulting in the greatest degree of reliability and the least amount of downtime.”
