Otops

LogZilla App Store application: Otops

Overview

OTOps provides unified Operational Technology and ICS monitoring across all log sources. Events from SCADA systems, PLCs, DCS controllers, and HMIs are aggregated into a single dashboard with consistent severity levels.

App Function

  • Aggregate OT/ICS events from installed vendor apps
  • Provide unified dashboard for cross-vendor OT visibility
  • Assign severity levels based on Event Type
  • Alert on safety events and security threats

Vendor Documentation

This is a LogZilla aggregate app. No external vendor documentation applies.

Device Configuration

No device configuration is required. OTOps automatically processes events from any app that sets Event Class containing OT.

Incoming Log Format

OTOps processes events tagged by vendor apps. It does not parse raw log formats directly. Vendor apps set:

  • Event Type: Safety, Alarm, Process Control, Maintenance, Threat
