How to configure centralized logging over multiple subnets?

Select the computers that are at the head of each subnet on your network (see diagram). You will be configuring NetVizor to store logs on these computers via shared folders. In this diagram the computer's you would store logs on would be Head Node A, B, and C, since they are the heads of their respective subnets.

Step 2:

Configure the NetVizor clients on each subnet to store their logs on their local subnet head node (selected in step 1). For example, in the above diagram, the computers in the leftmost subnet (A) would store their logs on the main computer at the top of their subnet (labeled Head Node A).

Follow our how-to Configuring Shared Log Storage (storing and viewing logs on a shared folder) for a detailed how-to for configuring the shared folder storage.

Step 3:

Configure the NetVizor viewer to read the shared log storage folder from each of the subnet head node computers that were selected in step 1 (i.e.: Head Node A,B, and C).

See steps 4-7 from our how-to Configuring Shared Log Storage (storing and viewing logs on a shared folder) for a detailed how-to for configuring the the viewer's log location settings.

The log storage and viewing of the finished configuration will resemble the following diagram.

Step 4:

You are now set to view logs from all users on any subnet on your network from your central workstation.
