Lumigent log reader

Sorry to even ask here, but I can't find any better Lumigent forum,
and I'm not sure yet what their official support mechanisms are, and
if I have access to them. At least I am using it with SQLServer!
We have a licensed (one year? permanent?) copy. What I want to do is
to read some old log files, extract the data into SQLServer tables,
and do some analysis. To do this, do those files have to reside on a
system running SQLServer? Since they are old, not current, files, do
I even need to install the server-side Lumigent code on that server?
Do the server-side tools even have to be installed on a system running
SQLServer? (I think yes, because I gather at least part of what they
do is install some xp's). Cuz otherwise I could install the "server"
components on my workstation, which it so happens in this environment
does NOT have SQLServer running locally.
Last but not least, if there's a better forum online for (public)
Lumigent support, I'd appreciate pointers in their direction!
Thanks.
JoshAlso, yes, it seems likely so I'll ask, apparently Lumingent requires
you to scan for just one database at a time, does the database that
I'm interested in have to reside on the same server, and does it have
to be in the same version as it was when the log files were created?

(Still not sure if it needs to have same schema)
* Old log files can reside anywhere.
* Server-side tools do need to install on server running SQLServer.
* Server-side tools do need to be installed.

Lumigent Entegra

Hi there I was looking for people who use this product or something
similiar.
I'm doing an evaluation for a project where we need a strong
monitoring of DB activities on SQL 2000. After some research I saw the
Entegra, however the process to get price information already turns me
a bit away from the company.
So my question would be, how is the peoples experience with this
product, and second what alternatives are available ?
best regards

The UI is very good and the details you get are unmatched. If you really
need that type of a toll then they should be your first choice and in some
cases they are your only choice. Don't know what troubles your having with
the pricing but you really should give them a call or at least an email.
