Log Analysis Case Study Using LoGS
A very useful technique a network administrator can use to identify
problematic network behavior is careful analysis of logs of incoming and
outgoing network flows. The challenge one faces when attempting to undertake
this course of action, though, is that large networks tend to generate an
extremely large quantity of network traffic in a very short period of time,
resulting in very large traffic logs which must be analyzed post-generation
with an eye for contextual information which may reveal symptoms of problematic
traffic. A better technique is to perform real-time log analysis using a
real-time context-generating tool such as LoGS
