These days there are various kinds of tools used by professionals in Software industry. From CI tools to Virtualization, to Issues, bug tracking tools to various others tools, the lists goes on and on. Thus, it’s really a tough task for them to select best tools as per their needs. So, today I am going to help System Administrators and operations by providing them the lists of top log monitoring tools.
But before that lets see, what is log monitoring ?
Log monitoring is a process of monitoring and understanding the state of the system, server, network, security devices and different applications and how they are working. Actually when these servers and different applications runs, they generate log files and events like Errors, problems, and more information is constantly logged and saved for analysis as text or binary files in the system. System admin keep reviewing these log files on daily basis so they can understand the condition and functioning of systems and different applications. But reviewing all those log files on daily basis is not an easy task, to do this laborious task log monitor needs to be set on those logs which automatically
monitor, review, analyze and generate reports as per the instructions set by System Admin.
