LogAxon

LogAxon, developed by Geneosoft, is a versatile tool designed specifically for network administrators looking for real-time insights into unusual network events. In its latest version, 2.5, this program shines by functioning as a server that can receive and store SNMP traps and Syslog messages from various connected devices. Network administrators will find this software particularly useful as it supports SNMP version 1 and 2c, enabling it to alert administrators about potential issues.

A standout feature of LogAxon is the ability to send email alerts to previously-defined addresses after a rigorous filtering process. Whether users prefer alerts for both SNMP traps and Syslog messages or just one, the customization is at their fingertips. Furthermore, the program offers SMS notification options, enriching its utility for on-the-go administrators who can’t always be in front of their screens.

Another beneficial function is the option to add multiple IP addresses as filtering parameters, offering a refined approach to how alerts and notifications are handled. This makes LogAxon not just a passive monitoring tool but an active part of the network's defense strategy.

LogAxon falls under the Internet & Network category and more specifically within the Network Tools subcategory. It is offered under a Freeware license, which means users can download and utilize its features without the worry of associated costs. Previous versions like 2.1 and earlier are also available, offering a choice for those interested in exploring the software's evolution.
