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
