Corner Bowl Log Manager is a cost conscious network-wide Event Log, Syslog and application log management tool that enables Systems Administrators to automate log monitoring, reporting, consolidation, archiving, and fulfill auditing requirements set forth by regulations such as HIPAA, NERC, PCI DSS, and SOX. Consolidate and archive Event Logs, Syslogs, and application text logs to SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, Microsoft Event Log file format (EVT, EVTX), our own optimized file format, or forward to a log appliance.
Monitor logs in real-time and schedule reports. For example, receive immediate notification when any user or computer attempts to logon to your network more than 3 times within 10 minutes. It includes Security Event Log reports to aid in auditing requirements. For example, receive daily or weekly reports such as Logon Failures, Logon Sessions, Account Management, and New User Accounts.

Event Log Management:
- The Windows operating system and many 3rd party Windows Services and applications use the Windows Event Log system to log informational, warning, and error information used by Systems Administrators to help identify application errors. Corner Bowl Log Manager monitors (real-time or scheduled), consolidates and archives Event Logs to SQL Server, MySQL or the file system.
Syslog Management:
- Corner Bowl Log Manager includes a self-contained syslog server that can be used to collect, monitor and consolidate syslog messages from both computers and devices such as network routers and firewalls.
Text Log Management:
- Corner Bowl Log Manager supports both delimited and non-delimited text log files. Delimited files follow a specific format enabling programmatic parsing over multiple lines.
- Many applications create log files using a date driven naming mechanism. Corner Bowl Log Manager enables you to monitor files within a directory that match user defined file name masks such as .txt and *.log. When a new file is detected, the service automatically starts monitoring the file contents.
Advanced Filtering:
- Powerful filtering searches through consolidated logs allowing you to pinpoint log entries of interest or remove noise. Both simple and complex regular expression filters are offered. Selectively flag and add notes to log entries of interest.
Compliance:
- Many regulatory agencies require organizations to archive critical logs for future reference. Corner Bowl Log Manager will archive your logs in their entirety or as a sub-set to a central SQL Server or MySQL database as well as to CSV, EVT, HTML, TXT, and XML files.
Alerts, Notifications, and Actions:
- Corner Bowl Log Manager supports several different alerts and actions when key log entries are detected. Trigger actions such as sending a fully customizable email, exporting to a file, displaying a message box, playing a sound, writing key log entries to a user defined database table, forwarding key log entries to log consolidation hardware via syslog, displaying a system tray popup message or sending a SMS notification through an email-to-SMS gateway or service.
Report Generation:
- Generate reports that contain filtered log entries of from a set of computers. For example, receive a daily report that contains a list of all failed login attempts to your domain controllers for the last 24 hours. Report content is fully customizable through our HTML email templates. Run reports on-demand or schedule.
