[balamurugan48011]

Hi ,

        Good Morning !!   We are using more than 1000 cisco devices in my network including 6500, 4500, 3750, 2900 series switches, nexus switches, Access points and controller etc.

        Here I would like to install syslog server based on Windows 7 machine.

        1.Which tool is the best?

        2. I need some trainint for the installation of that tool 

        3. I need to configure our switches on that tool

Could anyone tell me about this?

Regards,

Bala

Personally I would use Ubuntu Linux, it is free and works perfectly.

If you really want a windows option with lots of features check out:

Hi Bala,

You can try PRTG too.

Configuring syslog is pretty simple. You  have to configure the syslog server IP in all the devices:

Cisco-6509#sh run | i logg
logging enable
logging trap debugging
logging facility local
logging 10.10.10.50
logging 10.12.70.243

Here I am sending syslog to those 2 server.

Hi Freak,Thanks for your reply.I have configured the PRTG tool.I am able to monitoring my devices, but the problem is i am not able to configure syslog server. 

In my 6500 and 4500 series switches , i could not configure the command "logging enable"

Any configuring documents is available for the PRTG?
