Brief description:
The term log monitor is a general term referring to different programs that all perform automated monitoring of various kinds, keeping track of changes to a file or file system. It is especially useful for administrators who have to stay on top of a large network consisting of databases, file systems, and many different running programs. Even for single computer users, these monitoring programs can prove useful to provide a high level of control over an operating system's activities.
Our log monitor also comes with built-in notification or even scripting capabilities. If anything remarkable is found in any of the logs that the program is currently monitoring, it could simply send off an email to the human administrator, or even perform a preprogrammed response. This saves administrators a lot of tedious labor in looking through many different logs and frees their time for more important and complex administration tasks.
What problems can be solved with Log Monitor & Export?
A good example of a case wherein a monitoring program can save an administrator a lot of hassle is with a large file system open to many users. The program tracks directory changes, new files, file name changes, and so on would be nearly impossible without using a specialized program designed to do so. By setting a few basic rules, for instance, restricting file types to particular folders, or restricting access to certain directories, an administrator can keep the entire system in tip-top shape.
