E-Mail Log Analysis

CanIt indexes all mail logs into a full-text search engine. This allows system administrators and domain administrators to quickly search logs for relevant messages. The logs are grouped into correlated sets on a per-message basis; this allows CanIt to pull together log lines that are far apart in time but relate to the same message. CanIt's log indexer can search gigabytes of log data in just seconds from a convenient Web interface. This makes tracking down the progress of messages simple and pleasant compared to searching log files with traditional file-searching tools.

CanIt's log analyzer is fully aware of realms of control; administrators can only see those log lines that pertain to their users's messages. Log lines pertaining to messages for users in other organizations are not accessible to domain administrators---only the CanIt site administrator can access cross-organization log messages.

Log Indexing and Searching:

In a typical case an end user shows up and asks the System Admin, "What happened to my e-mail ?"

Formerly, the admin would have to manually rummage through mail logs. Now, he/she does a 10-second query. The Sys Admin can say with confidence that the e-mail arrived (or that it never arrived) at their server within the indexing time frame of our log indexer search. If needs be, the Sys Admin can narrow down the search by subject, sender, recipient, message-ID, date range, etc.
