Devices sending logs to NLS

Post by Fred Kroeger »

Is there an easy way to determine what devices are sending their logs to NLS and the amount of data?
The home page shows the number of hosts and there is a Dashboard that shows the Top Sources.
I guess I'm looking for a table that shows Hostname/IP, amount sent over a time period and the date/time last sent.
Thanks... Fred

From the Dashboards page, under 'All Events' look for a host field. From there, you can build out a table showing the top senders in the current data set. From there, click the magnifying glass to create a filter, where you can specify x IP that you'd like to view.

This will not be able to show you the amount of data, but you will be able to grasp the amount of different logs in the machine.

Thanks - I was checking in case there was something easier and I had missed it.
NLS already displays the number of hosts sending logs on the home page, so I was hoping that it would also track and display some details about the hosts and stats.

I could file a feature request for something, I think it'd be pretty cool to have perhaps a "metrics" or "stats" page with more information as you're mentioning pertaining to the data.

What details would you be looking for on this page?
