Tutorial: Prepare WinSyslog Data for Adiscon LogAnalyzer#

Use this tutorial when WinSyslog should write data that you want to review later in Adiscon LogAnalyzer.

Goal#

At the end of this procedure, WinSyslog will write messages into a database that LogAnalyzer can open.

Prerequisites#

  • A reachable database server

  • An ODBC System DSN on the WinSyslog host

  • WinSyslog access to the target database

  • A LogAnalyzer deployment that is ready to connect to the same database

Steps#

  1. Complete Tutorial: Write Messages to a Database so WinSyslog writes matching messages into the database.

  2. Open Set up and use Adiscon LogAnalyzer.

  3. Configure LogAnalyzer to use the same database as its data source.

  4. Send or receive one or more matching messages.

Verification#

  1. Confirm that WinSyslog writes rows into the target table.

  2. Open the configured source in LogAnalyzer.

  3. Verify that the stored messages appear there.

Next step#

If you need to refine which messages are stored before they appear in LogAnalyzer, continue with:
