Log Management
Records stored on system components are used for many purposes such as solving problems, security, evidence and compliance. Log Management is one of the most important components necessary for conformance with regulations such as ISO 27001, SOX, Law Number 5651 and PCI DSS. It is possible, depending on the kind of records, to track down and record the history of users, the fill ratio of systems, performance values, accessed charts in databases, and changes made.
Log Administration systems are used to collect, associate, archive and report logs. In this way it is possible to detect the meaningful information for the company in all logs consisting of millions of lines. Meaningful reports are developed from the information stored in logs and can be used for performance and safety matters. Logs can be kept to be used for legal matters.
It is important to consider the points mentioned below before setting up these systems:
- A good selection of systems to be logged
(If a good selection is not made, the accumulated information may be defective)
- Log collecting process should not cause performance loss in systems and networks from which logs are to be taken
(Log collecting agents could transfer logs to the center in intervals without overloading the network and the system)
- Careful capacity planning for the log collecting area
(otherwise there is a risk of storage problems - logs could be compressed)
- Keeping logs with a guarantee of unrevisability
(encoded and electronic signature are possibilities)
