log-dashboard is a tool designed to help you watch over your system logs. It collects information from Apache servers, SSH services, and Windows Event logs. Then it looks for unusual activities, like brute force attacks, people trying to access hidden folders, or logins during odd hours.
This dashboard shows you these findings in a clear way. You do not need to have technical experience or know how to handle logs. It works on your Windows computer and uses familiar interfaces you can use with a mouse and keyboard.

After installing, launch log-dashboard from the Start menu or desktop icon.
The program will guide you to connect to Apache, SSH, and Windows Event logs on your system. For Windows Event logs, it uses built-in permissions to access the data. For Apache and SSH, it reads log files stored on your machine or local network.
If you do not have Apache or SSH logs, the dashboard will just show information for the logs you do have.
You will see alerts arranged by security type. Each alert shows details like date, time, and IP addresses involved. You can click on alerts to learn more.
- Choose which logs to monitor.
- Set time ranges for alerts.
- Customize alert levels by importance.
- Export alert data as CSV for reports.
- Enable or disable real-time updates.
- Choose light or dark theme for the dashboard.
These options help you tailor the dashboard to your needs. You can change settings anytime from the main menu.
Visit the download page regularly (link above). When a new release is available, download the latest installer and run it. The program will upgrade your current version without deleting your data.

- Restart the program if it becomes unresponsive.
- Check for updates in case of bugs or issues.
