LogPoint is proud to announce LogPoint 5.6!Since the last large upgrade back in April 2016 (5.5.0), we have had minor releases and in parallel worked on this release.

New Features

Policy Based Routing

The feature allows your organization to:

• Reduce costs of storage: Filter messages before they are stored.
• Optimize workflows: Store logs in repositories based on urgency and severity
• Take the outputs of alerts and store them with enhanced meta data for efficient long-term correlations.

How it works:

• During collection and after normalization, we define a filter
• Based on the contents of the logs, an action will be taken:
• Drop the log?
• Keep only key-value pairs?
• Keep everything
• Where to store the logs

We walk through the configuration in the video below, so check out how to set this up in a few simple clicks.

Enhancements

LogPoint 5.6.0 contains numerous important enhancements. However, the exhaustive list of enhancements can be found in the release notes, we would like to highlight some of them here.

Syslog Collector has been enhanced to provide sequence numbers on messages received. The sequence number is assigned per device per protocol to each log message. With this feature, you can sort log messages by the order at which they arrive.
