The Challenge of Log Management in Modern IT Environments

Log management today is critical for gaining visibility into IT environments. However, modern applications and the infrastructure they are deployed on pose a growing challenge for the engineering teams responsible for monitoring them.

Aggregating the log data, processing it, storing it and analyzing it are just the tip of the iceberg. Changes in how applications are built and deployed have introduced a whole new set of technological challenges.

In this whitepaper, we outline these challenges, explain why old methodologies are not sufficient and what is required from a modern log management system to be effective.
