Frequently Asked Questions
Thank you for taking the time to view this demonstration of Log Explorer.
If you have questions, please refer to the frequently asked questions and
answers below, or contact Lumigent by telephone or email for detailed
assistance.
- Q. Did the demo show all the features of Log Explorer?
- No! Log Explorer exposes a vast amount of information.
Advanced filters are available to help navigate through the log and select
transactions of interest. Additional data recovery options offer a safety net
in case of unexpected data loss. As you experiment with Log Explorer, you will
discover many ways to take advantage of this information to improve the
reliability, availability, and integrity of your data.
- Q. Can I view multiple backup log files?
- Yes. Log Explorer combines the online log with any number of
backup files to present a single 'virtual' log.
- Q. How much does Log Explorer cost?
- Additional pricing information is available at http://www.lumigent.com/products/purchase.htm

- Q. What Log Explorer components are installed on the server?
- A small server component is installed that is active only when the
client component requests log data. The server component's behavior is similar
to a standard network service, waiting for incoming connections before taking
any action. Because the server component simply reads log data for transmission
to the client component, the server component does not diminish the performance
of the server machine. There has never been a reported incident of the
server-side component causing any stability or reliability problems.
- Q. Is server performance affected?
- Log Explorer uses the transaction log maintained by SQL
Server. Unlike trigger-based systems, Log Explorer adds no runtime overhead to
your server to collect basic transaction data. If you choose to collect NT User
Name information (available in Log Explorer version 2.5 and later) there is a
small amount of added storage and runtime
overhead.
