Graylog log management
When it comes to log collection, our experts recommend Graylog.
Graylog is an easy-to-use centralised log management platform with low operating costs and strong fault tolerance. It can handle large volumes of events and collect logs from a wide range of sources, including operating systems such as Microsoft Windows and Linux, database audit logs, and structured or unstructured application logs.
As logs are collected, Graylog processes events according to configurable rules. It identifies and categorises them by source, type and severity, extracts relevant fields, and stores and indexes the data for easy searching. It can alert designated team members based on predefined conditions and support later incident reviews with scheduled reports.
