This allows you to maintain an overview of all systems and identify and resolve incidents more quickly.
Real-time analysis and alarms
With Graylog, you can analyze logs in real time and create queries to detect patterns or anomalies. You can also set up alarms that notify you immediately when certain conditions are met, such as the occurrence of error messages or security breaches. This allows you to act proactively and solve problems before they have a negative impact on your business.
Flexible dashboards and visualization
We’ll show you how to create custom dashboards that present key metrics and log data in a clear, visual form. You can use charts, graphs and other visualizations to quickly identify trends and incidents. These dashboards give you a clear overview of the performance and security of your IT infrastructure at all times.
