Log analysis is the process of reviewing, interpreting, and understanding computer-generated records of events, known as logs. These logs are created by a wide variety of systems, including operating systems, applications, servers, network devices, and more. Think of logs as the digital footprints or a detailed diary of everything that happens within an IT environment. Log analysis helps to transform this raw data into actionable insights. This process is crucial for understanding system behavior, identifying performance issues, enhancing security, and ensuring compliance with regulations.
