ABSTRACT:
The SANS Industry Analyst team conducted its first major survey on the Log Management Industry in the spring of 2005. Since then, year-after-year results have shown a growth in the number of companies that are maintaining and using log data.
According to this survey, these companies now want more data collection, correlation and analysis, but they work under ongoing limitations in these areas. As in past years, the lack of common format between log systems among (commercial and custom applications) is still causing problems with collecting, sorting and parsing of log data. This lack of interoperability is denying organizations access to data that they now know is in their logs -- data that they can't access under existing conditions.
This, in turn, causes more dissatisfaction even as log management features and capabilities continue to improve.
