What is a Log Analyzer?

Log Analyzer – This is a tool that monitors, collects, analyzes and manages (by filtering and visualizing in a human-readable manner) log files from devices.

Log analyzers are important because;

1. They smoothen the process of system diagnosis in case of errors and failures.
2. They ensure compliance with legal frameworks.
3. They ensure effective audits are possible.
4. They help trace security breaches in real-time to prevent them.
5. They help in tracing the source of vulnerabilities for proper fixing.

 

Examples of industry-based log analyzers;

1. SolarWinds
2. GoAccess
3. Datadog
