The Solution to Cryptic and Convoluted Windows Events
Based on our research, Log Fidelity has calculated that roughly 75% of Windows events are either: (a) duplicate copies of events with different time stamps; (b) redundant or partial events which actually occur at the same time but each event contains half of the true information; (c) there are several event types that are retired by Microsoft and are undocumented.
Without LogClarity®’s built-in log interpretation knowledge, event logs would have to be manually correlated to understand the real activity. This can be extremely frustrating for security personnel and administrators because the Windows auditing system generates so many misleading events that must be manually deciphered and correlated. Without smart automated intelligence to translate the cryptic logs and correlate them into clear data, IT security teams will continue to struggle with security and compliance requirements.
LogClarity® Solves the Windows Event Log Challenges
The Windows log management experts, at Log Fidelity, have spent years of research and development discovering the underlying flaws related to the undocumented Windows event logs. This crucial research is built into LogClarity® to solve the Windows event ID limitations and Description Field inconsistencies.
LogClarity® solves these huge underlying problems by analyzing the Windows events and translating, filtering, normalizing and centrally managing them into usable data. LogClarity® uses a technology called LCDF which uses a built-in log interpretation knowledge base which identifies and filters out all of the redundant, erroneous and duplicate event logs that Windows auditing generates. LogClarity® also uses this intelligence to correlate event logs that have missing information with the event logs that are related to the real action. This powerful technology completely reinvents log management by introducing intelligent log analysis into the equation.
LogClarity® helps security administrators overcome the cryptic Windows event log mysteries by deciphering and translating the cryptic Description Fields into real understandable actions. The convoluted and misleading Windows event logs are also automatically correlated and normalized into object-based categories. This unique format makes the event logs easy to read and data mine. Any combination of objects and attributes can be searched without manually writing full-index pattern matching queries. IT personnel no longer have to painfully rely on limited search capabilities that retrieve thousands of events with no way to filter through them.
LogClarity’s forensic and data mining options are well known for their accuracy, ease-of-use, and flexibility. This is just one example of what makes LogClarity® the most comprehensive and intelligent log management solution. LogClarity® is capable of handling any log management or data monitoring challenge today.
