Results shown in real-time

The application doesn’t take a lot of time to install on your computer, with the possibility to take it for a spin right afterwards, without restarting your computer. A pretty slick interface shows up, with an intuitive overall structure. Control functions are found in an upper toolbar, while the rest of the space is reserved for the log analysis.
Once launched, the application is ready to start monitoring messages between your network devices. No particular effort is required on your behalf, because the program automatically reads necessary info. Results are displayed in real-time, showing the IP of source and destination, as well as content type.

Auto-start and save options

You can choose to define the maximum lines saved in the display zone, with the default being 100. Note that the application doesn’t automatically save log files unless you enable the option, which asks you to define a destination folder. It’s a good idea to have this feature active, especially if you don’t want to have too many lines displayed in the interface.
In case you want to have the program ready by the time you reach the desktop, there’s an auto-start option, which also activates the scan operation on launch. Unfortunately, the application doesn’t let you apply any filters, look up specific events, or have warnings issued in case of particular actions.

To end with

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that Vov Syslog Server is a straightforward application you can leave running on a network computer in order to view all actions which rely or interact with your machine. Results are displayed in real-time, with the possibility to save logs to file.
