Logs¶

In modern infrastructure, thousands of log events can be generated every minute. These logs follow specific formats, usually containing timestamps and are generated by servers. They are output to different files such as system logs, application logs, and security logs. However, these logs are currently stored in a distributed manner across various servers, leading to the need to log into each server separately to review logs when a system failure occurs, in order to determine the cause of the failure. This process increases the complexity of troubleshooting.

Facing such a large volume of data, you need to decide which logs should be sent to a log management solution and which should be archived. Filtering logs before sending them might result in missing critical information or inadvertently deleting valuable data.

To improve the efficiency of fault diagnosis and gain a comprehensive understanding of the system's status, avoiding passive responses during emergencies, centralized management of logs along with centralized search and correlation analysis capabilities becomes crucial.

Guance, through its powerful log collection feature, allows you to unify log data reporting to Guance workspaces. This way, you can centrally store, audit, monitor, alert, analyze, and export collected log data, thereby simplifying the log management process.

By doing this, Guance helps you avoid potential issues caused by filtering logs before sending them, ensuring all critical information is properly handled and analyzed.
