Network Services

The network services feature, which runs as a separate service ("EventSentry Network Services"), contains both the Syslog daemon as well as SNMP daemon functionality. As such, the "EventSentry Network Services" service will need to be installed an running if you intend to capture Syslog messages and/or SNMP traps.

The service is normally installed during setup, where you can elect to have the Syslog and SNMP daemon functionality installed. Alternatively, you can also install the service by opening the management console and navigating to "Network Services". There, click the "Install" button to have the service installed.

2. Requirements

Operating System: The correct Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable needs to be installed in order for the service to start. Please see requirements for more information.

Licensing: At minimum, a 10-host Heartbeat / Network Device license needs to be installed for the service to start and accept network packets. Evaluation licenses do not have this requirement.

3. Debug Level

You can set a debug level for troubleshooting purposes, e.g. when instructed by EventSentry support. The following debug levels are available:

- None

- Error

- Warning

- Info

- Debug

- Trace (most)

It is not recommended to enable the debug or trace logging levels unless instructed by NETIKUS.NET support.

4. Active Components

This area shows which components inside the network services service are actively running. A green check mark indicates the component is active, whereas a gray "X" indicates that the component is inactive.
