Managing logs is a daily headache, with many issues to handle at the same time for the collected information to be usable.

How aggregate and consolidate log files ? Avoid redondancy between similar alerts? Have a clear view of the respective importance of the reported alerts? Manage this information in the long term? Set up a flexible solution, that can be adapted even to internal applications or configurations ? These are some of the common questions administrators have to handle.

Who should consider log managment ?

An efficient management of log files is of special interest:

• to all organisations collapsing under the sheer quantity of various log files generated by their systems, and who look for a way to deal with this important information in an efficient and simple way.
• to all organizations looking for an efficient way to manage and store their log files in compliance with the legal constraints and/or the rulings enforced by such regulations as Sarbanes Oxley or Basel II.
