What is Log Management?
Log management (LM) comprises an approach to dealing with large volumes of computer-generated log messages (also known as audit records, audit trails, event-logs, etc). LM covers log collection, centralized aggregation, long-term retention and log analysis (in real-time and in bulk after storage).

Systems administrators usually perform LM analysis for reasons of security[1], of operations (such as system or network administration) or of regulatory compliance.

Effectively analyzing large volumes of diverse logs can pose many challenges — such as huge log-volumes (reaching hundreds of gigabytes of data per day for a large organization), log-format diversity, undocumented proprietary log-formats (that resist analysis) as well as the presence of false log records in some types of logs (such as intrusion-detection logs).

Users and potential users of LM can build their own log management and intelligence tools, assemble the functionality from various open-source components, or acquire (sub-)systems from commercial vendors.
