Extracting Value from Enterprise Log Data
Compliance, forensics, security and IT operations teams have long recognized the value that log data can deliver. An effective log management solution can help organizations in several ways:
•Contain the growing cost of regulatory audits through automation
•Reduce expenditure on point security and compliance tools through comprehensive monitoring across all users and systems
•Cut data center costs through consolidation of siloed homegrown log infrastructure
•Improve efficiency of forensics investigations with high-performance log analysis
•Increase troubleshooting turnaround times and adherence to SLA’s
Despite these tangible benefits, organizations continue to struggle with even the basic steps of log management such as collection and analysis. This whitepaper will outline the drivers for log management as well as their underlying challenges and drive towards a common set of requirements for evaluation of log management tools.
