Provides analysis of vManage Admin tech, with simplified log processing

Features:

• Groups similar errors and exceptions, replacing common values like IP addresses, SN, user names, to reduce the total number of different messages to evaluate. it can drive 30.000 messages into around 150
• Detailed report available, with all logs suitable for filtering
• Graph reports for user API activity
• REST, auth and vManage server logs summarisation
• Possibility to filter for only FATAL, ERROR, EXCEPTION message types, or to collect all levels if required
• You can select how many days to process. By default, it will take 2 days of logs (last log line - 2 days)
• Local authentication summary per users
• Local auth detailed view with sucess/failure attempts
• Checks to detect server compliance with best practices
• Version validation
• List all high memory usage alerts

Log aggregation takes a "simplistic" approach, for speed optimisation, if you see something that should be grouped, please report it

Output

• Results exported to XLS file
• File will be located on same folder as the admin tech input file (same name, terminated in xls)

Compatibility

• Windows and Mac OS versions available
