Log Analyzer

The IceWarp Server Log Analyzer is a statistical and logical analysis tool for log files generated by the server engine.

Its functionality can be divided into two major areas:

• Importing the logs generated by the server as plain-text files into a database.
• Running pre-set or creating custom queries against the database to produce statistical graphs or reports for viewing or sending via email.

Each functional area is covered by its own interface with corresponding executables:

1. Built-in Log Importer (mlaimp.exe) configured from within Administration GUI of IceWarp Server.

   This processes raw log data from log text files and organizes this information into structured records stored in an SQL database in a form suitable for the external log Viewer application.

2. External log Viewer (ILA.exe).

   This standalone application does the analysis of the data using preset and/or custom SQL statements.

The advantage of this approach is that you can do all the configuration to collect data in the familiar Administration GUI, allowing IceWarp Server to automatically import log files into the database each night, while the external log Viewer can be run on any external machine (such as your desktop) and connect either to a local copy of the database or to a remote database (when provided with the connection details).

IceWarp Server Log Analyzer allows you to quickly and efficiently analyze your server activity over your morning cup of coffee from the convenience of your laptop.

Currently only the SMTP, POP3, IceWarp Anti Virus and IceWarp Anti Spam logs are supported.

Other log types, and more detailed types of analysis will follow in the next release, along with enhanced charting, rich-text HTML statistics and other improvements to statistics reports.
