Log Management Software

Log management software should be a key aspect of an administrator’s infrastructure management strategy. Good log management software should automate the process of collecting, storing, archiving and backing up log file data across a variety of formats. From a regulatory compliance standpoint, log management software becomes a need-to-have when the auditor comes knocking. The software should alert on potential network security events and feature log reporting to set a baseline for compliance achievement. In addition, it should provide forensic capabilities in the aftermath of major security incidents.

The WhatsUp Log Management Suite log management software automatically collects, stores, archives, backs up, analyzes and reports on Syslog, Windows Event logs, or W3C logs generated by Web Application Servers, Load Balancers, Firewalls, Proxy Servers or Content Security appliances.
