About the Web Services API

The LogLogic Web Services API lets you develop programs, or use Web Services tools, to interface with the LogLogic Appliances. You can use the Web Services API to run reports and searches, manage alert rules, manage user accounts, manage forwarding rules, and manage search filters.

The API is XML Web Services-based to provide a standardize API transport.

LogLogic provides two main Services:

• Administration Service - for managing administrative tasks
  
• Report and Search Service - for accessing report and search capabilities
