If your Loggly linux log\nmonitoring<\/a> skills could use a quick brush-up, or if you\u2019re brand new to the\ntask, walk through the tips below and you\u2019ll likely be surprised at how a short\nreview can boost your brain\u2019s memory bank. Sometimes we all have a tendency to\nget lost in the weeds of detailed tasks and sub-categories of sub-categories.\nThere\u2019s high utility in returning to the basics of one of the industry\u2019s time-honored\noperating systems and it\u2019s logging parameters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first two steps of the review look at the importance of\nknowing the what and why of the chore, but the third step truly gets down to\nthe nitty gritty of knowing exactly which files to examine. Finally, finish off\nwith a short summary of finding the right tools for the job and knowing how to\nbe a smart consumer when you set out to purchase retail addons and out of the box\nsolutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What You\u2019re Monitoring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It sounds overly simplistic, but in this particular\nenvironment, you absolutely must know what event files your monitoring. The\nfour choices you have are app, event, service and system logs. Most people\nfocus on one or two at a time when monitoring. If you do this right, you\u2019ll be\nable to anticipate all kinds of problems and work on prevention rather than\ndetection, which is always a smart way to go about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why You\u2019re Doing It<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cwhy\u201d involves four key items that are like gold to any\nIT admin: underlying issues, security, error messages and server performance. Prevention\nis better than post detection. If you keep an eye on these four parameters,\nthere won\u2019t be much of a chance for anything to slip in without your knowledge.\nOf course, these four pieces of the puzzle are very large areas of concern and\nno one person would want the chore of being responsible for all of it, and\nshould be spread out to a\nteam<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which Files to Focus On<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are thousands of items in your event logs and not\nenough time for anyone to examine all of them. That\u2019s why you have to\nprioritize and decide early on what priority you\u2019ll hone in on. Everyone will\nhave their own favorites based on various sets of factors, each of which is\nunique to a particular organization\u2019s structure, history and computer\nenvironment<\/a>. The bottom line is to keep a running list of your targeted\nfiles within the platform and examine them regularly. Otherwise it\u2019s easy to\nlose sight of what your short and long-term goals are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decide Which Tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A capable tool that can help you monitor is worth it to the\noverall success of the business, so it\u2019s important to become familiar with\nwhat\u2019s out there, what the average prices are and which tools excel at\ndifferent tasks. You\u2019ll want to base your buying choices on much more than\nprice, so don\u2019t fall victim to either not putting enough budget towards, or the\nfallacy of more expensive means better. They\u2019re just different sides of the\nsame coin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
