Real-time data management and log analysis

Individual IT elements are now capable of generating vast amounts of information. Most often, this information is stored in the form of logs, and its processing can no longer be managed without the help of specialized software. Log management is the process of continuous collection, storage, processing, synthesis, and analysis of data from various programs and applications to optimize system performance, identify technical issues, improve resource management, and enhance security.

Log management solutions are used for the centralized collection, storage, analysis, and visualization of logs from various sources. Logs can be generated from network devices, applications, operating systems, cloud storage, and more. The log records themselves carry information about events that have occurred within IT systems. These may include errors, exceptions, successful and unsuccessful logins, or data access attempts.

Splunk processes, evaluates, and correlates logs, thereby helping to detect system problems (errors, outages, attacks) early, improve security through information on actions performed within the IT system, and optimize system performance.
