Description
SolarWinds Log Analyzer (LA) is a powerful log management and analysis tool designed for IT operations. It aggregates, searches, and visualizes log data from infrastructure and applications, including Syslog, Windows Events, SNMP Traps, and VMware Events.
Unlike security-focused SIEM tools, Log Analyzer integrates directly into the Orion Platform alongside NPM and SAM. This allows you to see log data side-by-side with performance metrics. When a server spikes to 100% CPU, you can instantly see the error logs that caused it in the same dashboard.
Key Features
- Real-Time Live Stream: Watch logs stream in real-time to troubleshoot issues as they happen.
- Unified Dashboard: Correlate log data with network and server performance metrics in the PerfStack™ dashboard.
- Aggregated Search: Quickly search millions of logs using intuitive filters and tags to find specific error codes.
- Tagging & Filtering: Automatically tag log entries (e.g., "Critical," "Login Failure") to trigger alerts.
- Log Forwarding: Forward logs to other applications or SIEM tools for long-term archiving.

Trending FAQs: Log Management
Q: Does this replace Kiwi Syslog Server?
A: It depends. Kiwi is a lightweight syslog receiver for basic needs. Log Analyzer is a more advanced enterprise tool that fully integrates with your monitoring dashboard, supports Windows Events/VMware logs, and allows for easier visual correlation.
Q: How is it licensed?
A: Log Analyzer is licensed by the number of Nodes generating logs. If you want to collect logs from 50 devices (servers, routers), you need an LA50 license. It aligns with your NPM/SAM node counts.
Q: Can I see logs and performance charts on the same screen?
A: Yes! This is the main advantage of LA. With the PerfStack™ dashboard, you can drag a CPU utilization chart and a Log stream onto the same timeline to see exactly what error message occurred when the CPU spiked.
Q: Is this a SIEM tool?
A: No. Log Analyzer is for Operations (fixing broken things). For Security (detecting hackers, compliance reports), you should look at SolarWinds Security Event Manager (SEM).
