Help - logs

This check looks for "keywords" in log files that shouldn't exist. If lines having those words are found they are reported. You would typically check for words like "ALERT" in your syslog file, and other phrases that indicate a problem.

Log entries that have the words you are looking for are reported to the spong server, so that you can view them while looking at the problem.

If this service is "red", it could indicate a variety of problems - depending on the log and words you are checking for.
