No matter the size of your organization or setup, log data is an essential part of knowing what is happening in your IT infrastructure, which is why monitoring all that data with a tool like Nagios Log Server is critical.
What if you want to monitor the log data of your home IT environment or test out Log Server before upgrading to the full version? That’s what the free version of Log Server is ideal for, so there’s no need to worry! In this article, we’ll cover what the main capabilities of Nagios Log Server are and how you can utilize those functionalities at a scaled-down level with the free version.
Simplify log monitoring for easier log data analysis and insight-driven decision-making.
Log Server is a powerful log monitoring and management solution with a variety of useful features that aim to simplify log data management. With Log Server, you can collect, analyze, and store log data based on custom specifications and gain extended insight into data about your IT infrastructure. To gain this insight, Log Server allows you to view, sort, and configure logs from any log source on any given network quickly and easily. One of the ways it is able to do this is through its out-of-the-box capability to receive Windows event logs, Linux syslogs, and network device syslogs, as well as log information from any Windows or Linux machine. You can also add additional log types by utilizing Log Server’s built-in Setup Wizards. To consolidate all of your alerts for your log data and other IT infrastructure components into one place, Log Server is able to easily integrate with Nagios XI, our premier IT infrastructure monitoring software.
These are just some of the main features of Log Server, and no matter what the size of your infrastructure is, you’ll be able to use most of, if not all, its features because you can easily scale it by adding more Instances to your monitoring Cluster to enhance power, speed, storage, and reliability. To begin utilizing these features, small environments are perfect to use the power of Log Server for free, while a 30–day trial or a license for a business environment can truly unlock scalability to fit your exact needs.

This free edition allows you to upload up to a 500 MB limit of log data per day on a seven-day rolling average while still giving you access to its time-saving features. One of the many features you can test out is the integration with Nagios XI by utilizing its free version as well, which has a limit of monitoring seven Nodes and 100 Host and Service checks.
