In addition to monitoring the status of third party devices you can also view the logs that are sent by those devices.

You just need to create a “Logging Profile” element that defines how the syslog that is sent by the third party device is parsed to fit the StoneGate Management Center’s log browser columns. Then you assign the logging profile and the responsible Log Server to your host and router elements just like you did with the Probing profiles.

Stonesoft will provide a couple of example logging profiles. We will also provide an integrated validation tool that helps you to create the custom logging profiles for your own third party devices.

Besides the status monitoring and log browsing of third party devices, StoneGate Management Center 5.0 allows you to create some simple log statistics based on the log data that is sent by those devices. Maybe you don’t need to use that many user interfaces for your daily administration tasks anymore…
