Log Management
Overview
Trace9® Monitoring solution collects, analyzes, and stores systems and application logs generated by various sources such as servers, applications, network devices, and security systems. Logs are records of events that occur in a system, and they contain information such as the time of the event, the type of event, the source of the event, and other relevant details. Nobody likes to keep making the same mistakes. Our Trace9® monitoring solution identify patterns to identify reoccurring issues and integrate check results, metrics, and logs in a single web interface, then use that extensive information to simplify your life.
Our Trace9® monitoring solution monitors, analyzes, and responds to system events in real-time. By collecting and analyzing log data, organizations can improve system performance, enhance security, and meet regulatory requirements

Real-time alerts
Trace9® monitoring solution generates real-time alerts based on predefined criteria. This can help IT teams quickly identify and respond to critical system events.
Improved performance
Trace9® monitoring solution enables IT teams to monitor system performance and identify areas for improvement. By analyzing log data, IT teams can identify performance bottlenecks and optimize system performance.
Technology Supported, Protocols, Devices
There are various technologies, protocols, and devices available for Trace9® Log management. Here are some examples:
- Log management software: These are software tools designed to collect, store, and analyze logs generated by various systems and devices. Some popular log management software tools include Splunk, Logstash, Graylog, and ELK Stack.
- SNMP: Trace9® monitoring solution supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) used for monitoring and managing network devices. It also collects logs from devices such as routers, switches, and firewalls.
- SIEM: Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) is a technology that combines log management with security information and event management. It provides a centralized view of security events and can detect and respond to security threats.
- Log collectors: Trace9® monitoring solution supports log collectors, devices that are installed on servers or network devices to collect and forward logs to a central log management system. Examples of log collectors include rsyslog, syslog-ng, and Fluentd.
- Cloud-based log management services: Trace9® monitoring solution supports Cloud-based log management services such as AWS CloudWatch, Google Cloud Logging, and Azure Log Analytics provide a scalable and cost-effective way to collect, store, and analyze logs in the cloud.
Module Dependency
To implement Trace9® log management effectively, you will need to consider the following module dependencies:
Log collection module
This module is responsible for collecting log data from various sources, including servers, applications, and network devices. It may use various log collection protocols such as syslog, SNMP, or agents to collect log data.
Log parsing and normalization module
This module is responsible for parsing log data and normalizing it into a consistent format so that it can be easily analyzed and correlated with other log data. It may also perform data enrichment, such as adding metadata and contextual information to the log data.
Log storage module
This module is responsible for storing log data in a centralized location, such as a log database or a data lake. It should be able to handle large volumes of data and provide fast retrieval and search capabilities.
Log analysis module
This module is responsible for analyzing log data to identify patterns, trends, and anomalies that may indicate issues or potential security threats. It may use various techniques such as machine learning, anomaly detection, and correlation analysis to identify issues.
Alerting and notification module
This module is responsible for alerting system administrators or other stakeholders when log data indicates an issue or potential security threat. It may use various notification channels such as email, SMS, or slack to notify stakeholders.
In conclusion, Trace9® monitoring solution has all these modules working together seamlessly to provide comprehensive log management capabilities which helps organizations monitor their infrastructure effectively.
Scalability
Trace9® Log management can be scaled to a considerable extent by using various techniques and technologies. Here are some examples:
- Distributed Architecture
Trace9® Monitoring solution is designed with a distributed architecture that allows software to scale horizontally by adding more servers or nodes to handle the increased log volume.
- Cloud-Based Solutions
Trace9® Cloud-based log management services offer virtually infinite scalability as they can scale up or down as needed based on demand, without requiring upfront capital expenditure for additional hardware.
- Data Retention Policies
Trace9® defines data retention policies that specify how long logs should be kept before they are deleted or archived, and can help to reduce the overall amount of data that needs to be stored and managed.
- Automated Log Rotation
Trace9® Automated log rotation can also help to manage log data growth by automatically archiving or deleting older logs based on predefined rules.
- Data Compression
Trace9® compress log data can help to reduce the amount of storage required while still retaining the ability to search and analyze the data.
