Log Management and Analysis

Logs.. How often do you review yours? Be honest… Most system administrators will tell you that they only review the log files when there is a problem. Ask your System Administrators and see what they say.

It's not that they don’t know that it's an important task. It’s the other operational roles and objectives in the day to day business that take up their time. In a large environment there could be hundreds of servers. How do you review the logs on all of them? You do what most Administrators do. You don’t.

In the world of security that is a bad answer, but there are solutions. Reviewing and analyzing your logs on a regular basis even monthly, will help to identify system level problems and stave off disaster before it happens. You may be able to identify signs of a looming hardware failure or you may be able to see questionable account login attempts or failures.
