HP router and switch monitoring with Log360

ManageEngine Log360 enables end-to-end log collection, normalization, and analysis from HP routers and switches, helping IT and security teams monitor network activity, detect anomalies, and ensure compliance. These logs are parsed and transformed into actionable insights through prebuilt reports and real-time alerts, empowering proactive network and security operations.

How Log360 monitors HP devices

HP routers and switches forward logs to Log360 via standard syslog protocols over UDP, TCP, or TLS. Once received, these logs are parsed based on HP’s event formats and categorized for security, configuration, system health, and interface activity monitoring.

Types of logs collected

Log360 processes a wide range of HP device logs, including:

Logon events: Successful and failed logins, and logon trends by user and source

Interface events: Interface status (up/down), trunk port activity (up/down, added/removed)

Configuration activity: Executed commands (success/failure), VLAN status, ACL-related errors

System events: Device reboots, configuration changes, system clock updates, license issues, fan and power statuses

Severity-based events: Emergency, alert, critical, error, warning, notice, informational, and debug events

Key monitoring capabilities

Once logs are collected, Log360 offers:

• Real-time dashboards to visualize interface changes, logon attempts, and configuration trends.
• Alerting for failed logons, system reboots, ACL misconfigurations, and hardware issues.
• Reports highlighting top users, most active sources, and severity trends.
• Historical log analysis for troubleshooting and auditing device activity.
• Correlation with logs from other sources ( servers, cloud apps) for deeper investigation.
