Likelihood to Recommend	AWS integrations are easy, metrics are easily accesable Long term log insights need to be thought out and set up carefully Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Some of equipment does not support correct monitoring of particular errors via standard SNMP requests (example - Juniper SRX licenses expiration). In this case getting and analyzing syslogs as well as creating event-based alerts/notifications brings great relief of a network administrator life! The second case - is a simple analyzing firewall log events as SolarWinds Log Analyzer (LA) can keep logs for a longer time than an equipment built-in tool.
