Cisco Logs Analyzer

Cisco log analyzer

Cisco routers, switches, and firewalls are among the most commonly used network devices in the market. Routers and switches discover the best routes for data packets to travel through networks, whereas firewalls and IDS/IPS devices filter and inspect these packets for malicious content, providing network security. Failing to monitor and analyze these devices can disrupt communication and security.

Advantages of Cisco network analysis

Analyzing your Cisco logs allows you to:

  • Track logon activity to discover any authentication errors.
  • Ensure that devices are configured properly to avoid configuration errors.
  • Examine all router and switch connections (including those denied) to identify the most frequently used source and destination devices.
  • Break down details about traffic passing through devices based on protocol (e.g., TCP, UDP, and ICMP).
  • Analyze port usage on your devices to act quickly if any issue is detected.
  • Examine all system events of concern and identify the devices requiring immediate attention.
  • Discover traffic flow errors to mitigate the most frequently occurring errors.

Cisco management with EventLog Analyzer’s syslog server

With a Cisco syslog server like EventLog Analyzer, you can simplify your Cisco network monitoring and analysis.

EventLog Analyzer's built-in Cisco syslog server provides the following features:

  1. Prepackaged reports detailing router and switch activity help you intuitively visualize your data as an interactive dashboard.
  2. Trend reports discover patterns in your data, while top N reports reveal the people and devices most frequently responsible for certain events.
  3. Easily switch from viewing reports to plaintext log information.
  4. Customizable, real-time alerts eliminate the need for manual report surveillance.
  5. Powerful forensics allows you to easily find the logs you need.

How to configure Cisco devices in EventLog Analyzer

  1. Log in to EventLog Analyzer.
  2. Click the +Add button in the top-right corner, then select Devices from the drop-down.
  3. Navigate to the Syslog Devices tab and click the +Add Device(s) button.
  4. Enter the IP addresses of the Cisco devices in your network and click Add.
  5. You can also set alerts and generate reports for these devices using the Alerts and Reports tabs.

Customer Speaks

  • Credit Union of Denver has been using EventLog Analyzer for more than four years for our internal user activity monitoring. EventLog Analyzer provides great value as a network forensic tool and for regulatory due diligence. This product can rapidly be scaled to meet our dynamic business needs.
    Benjamin Shumaker
    Vice President of IT / ISO
    Credit Union of Denver
  • The best thing, I like about the application, is the well structured GUI and the automated reports. This is a great help for network engineers to monitor all the devices in a single dashboard. The canned reports are a clever piece of work.
    Joseph Graziano, MCSE CCA VCP
    Senior Network Engineer
