Unleash your Logs Analysis with SexiLog
Released today, SexiLog is a **free pre-configured **ELK log management virtual appliance designed for vSphere environments. It delivers great log analytics and real-time monitoring capabilities, combined with highly customizable dashboards.
SexiLog is really easy to use and to deploy: after the OVA deployment, you only have to configure a static IP (if you don’t have a DHCP) and redirect your ESXi logs…that’s all ! :)
Almost 20 predefined dashboards (a.k.a. SexiBoards) are available out of the box, but you can create as many as needed for your needs.
The appliance is based on the ELK stack (ElasticSearch, Logstash and Kibana) as on other opensource tools (nodes.js, etc.).
I hope you noticed the word “free” above in this post : yes, SexiLog is completely free. :)
