If no one has checked this out it is a must.  I was able to test this out when it first dropped and enough so that Rick had me on a Veeam show talking about the app.  Great writeup Sean. 👍🏼


We don’t use Splunk, but it might be worth looking into in order to see what all the options are here.  As a MSP, we use different products for log aggregation, but it’s more from a security standpoint, so I’d be curious to see if it can work with tools that we already have in place.  I’m sure not as deep at integration as with Splunk, but I should look to see what options are out there.


This can really help us in our day-to-day lives. Customers are amazed
