Getting Started

Once EventLog Analyzer has been successfully set up and started in your network, the next thing to do is to start collecting event logs from hosts on the network.

As soon as you log in, you will see the Dashboard. If no hosts are sending event logs to EventLog Analyzer, you will see a welcome screen with options to help you get started.

The options in the welcome screen will help you do the following tasks:

• Add a Windows/Unix-host/Any syslog device or Cisco device to collect event logs or syslogs.
• Simulate event logs

If EventLog Analyzer has been installed on a UNIX machine, it cannot collect event logs from Windows hosts.
