Paglo rolls out real-time log search

Paglo (an "IT search engine") has been consistently adding significant new features to their offering since their launch in November, 2007. Today, they bring us their new log management application.

Paglo fleshes out all-in-one IT management service

Paglo has been steadily building out its feature set as a Web 2.0-style solution to IT management.

If you want an in depth look at how Paglo works and all that it has to offer, I would recommend checking out my review, from November.

Paglo: A Web 2.0 approach to IT

The Web 2.0 style IT management tool, Paglo launched in beta on Monday.

Paglo is essentially an IT search engine that indexes a ton of information about the network you are managing. For example, if you are concerned about how many copies of Microsoft Office are installed on computers at your company and want to make sure that you are complying with your license, Paglo allows you to view that statistic in real time.

There are three key elements to Paglo: the Crawler, Search Index, and UI. If you are a network administrator, for example, you install the Paglo … Read more
