Log analysis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Log analysis (or system and network log analysis) is an art and science seeking to make sense out of computer-generated records (also called log or audit trail records). The process of creating such records is called data logging.

Typical reasons why people perform log analysis are:

  • Security
  • System troubleshooting
  • Forensics and incident response
