Log Analysis & Monitoring

Log files recorded by operating systems and applications contain a vast amount of useful data. Regularly analyzing this data, grouping related data items together, and reporting in a data appropriate form along with trending, provides deep insight into systems operations: be they as intended, unexpected or inappropriate! A moving picture of reality rather than assumptions colored by wishful thinking. Such a system supports proactive rather than re-active management, and is cases where re-active is unavoidable, provides an already existing source of current data - supported with historical data- to identify anomolies and aid in rapid diagnosis.

Given the volume and diversity of data involved manually reviewing log files on a regular basis is simply infeasible. While most system administrators will say they review log files, what that normally means is that when a problem has occured they will look at the logfiles for clues as to what is happening. Regular log analysis supported by a state-of the-art Log Analysis and Monitoring system can greatly improve system relaibility and performance.

A Log Analysis & Monitoring System should support:

  • Multiple Application Logs, Logging Formats and Operating Systems
  • Ability to handle multiple servers and allow rfFlexible server groupings
  • Arbitrary Alerting Rules, Trending and Email Alerts
  • Customized reports by audience and reporting periods
  • Per user configuration of analysis and reporting
  • Archival of Historic Reports
  • Highlight data that resulted in an alert being triggered
  • Identification of new/previously unseen messages

E-insights' Log Analysis & Monitoring Tools provide all the above, in addition to optional regular expert evaluation of log reports. A sample Log Analysis report can be seen here.
