Overcoming the Log Management Lifecycle
Log Management Using Intelligent Automation
Meeting compliance has been the driving force for log management in recent years. Many organizations have since realized that there is a wealth of information that can be derived from event logs. Log data from servers, databases, firewalls, and other devices can be invaluable sources of information. Utilizing these event logs can ensure the well-being of company infrastructures, protect critical data, and improve system and network health. Unfortunately, there are many manual complex tasks that IT personnel must accomplish on a daily basis when attempting to use event log data.
Common Log Management Hurdles
Log Management using Intelligent Automation
The common responses from IT personnel that are charges with setting up log management tasks are; “the amount of logs generated across the enterprise is too time-consuming to review”, “the event logs are too difficult to understand”, “there is too much data”, Long-term log retention is impossible with generic system settings. Most organizations have not been successful in accomplishing all these compliance goals on a consistent basis.
Log Retention Goals Can Be Achieved
Retaining Logs for Years is Not a Lofty Goal
Log Retention is a significant part of meeting compliance and ensuring long term security. Worldwide, organizations have been wrestling with the task of defining what events to collect and manage across their enterprise. This has been a thorn in the sides of IT professionals for years because they must balance efficient log collection with log retention limitations. The reason auditing set up, and log retention is such a challenging task, is because there millions of event logs can be generated daily.
Why is Intelligent Log Management Necessary?
Intelligent Log Aggregation versus Mindless Aggregation
Microsoft doesn’t widely disclose their serious inconsistencies with their auditing system. This poor foundation can cause huge problems for organizations that use freeware or even other commercial logging solutions. Common complaints are; reports are bloated with misinformation; forensics is difficult because of too many events that only contain small bits of information; and long-term log retention is impossible to achieve.
LogClarity® Executive Dashboard For IT Managers
True Executive Level Analytics is Possible
Many executives and managers are disappointed with the low-level technical reports provided by logging solutions which don’t cater to their needs. This is a big problem for upper management because they are ultimately responsible, if a procedure isn’t followed correctly, or if customer data is leaked. In fact, many executives feel as though they are at the mercy of their technical counter-parts hoping everything is fine.
LogClarity® Enterprise Dashboard

LogClarity® IT Efficiency
Improving Network, System, & Application Uptime with LogClarity®
Often, when system or network errors occur, very limited information is available for troubleshooting. Event logs can be a huge advantage for administrators that need to increase system uptime and performance. Unfortunately, event logs are frequently spread across multiple resources.
Why LogClarity® Solution?
The Logical Choice for Log Management
Other log management solutions don’t perform any analysis of event logs at all. They simply collect them all to a central log server. This can be very difficult to use for a number of reasons. The duplicate data can cause inaccurate reports and too many event log results during data mining activity searches. It can also cause serious data pollution and poor log retention.
