Install or Upgrade Log Analyzer
SolarWinds strongly recommends that you install the SolarWinds Platform on a server that is neither public, nor internet-facing. To learn about best practices for configuring your SolarWinds Platform installation securely, see Secure Configuration for the SolarWinds Platform.
Log Analyzer is a fully-integrated log management solution that is accessible through your SolarWinds Platform Web Console. Upon installation, you can instantly view live event messages from nodes currently integrated with the SolarWinds Platform, and quickly map unknown devices through the Node Management feature. Key benefits include live event filtering to target and identify current network issues, and seamless transitions between critical event messages and associated SolarWinds Platform products for on-the-spot troubleshooting and issue resolution.
