Following in the footsteps of our previous articles on Linux system hardening, security monitoring and emailing alerts, in this the cloud provider article we will talk about Logwatch: a very powerful log parser and analyzer which can make any dedicated system administrator’s life a little bit easier when tackling application related tasks and issues.
The Linux Audit System creates an audit trail, a way to track all kinds of information on your system. It can record a lot of data like types of events, the date and time, user IDs, system calls, processes, files used, SELinux contexts, and sensitivity levels. It can track whether a file has been accessed, edited, or executed. It can even track if changes to file attributes.
This tutorial compares four widely used log shippers for OpenSearch: Logstash, Filebeat, Fluentd, and Fluent Bit—highlighting their primary uses, strengths, and considerations.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to configure your App Platform application to sed logs to a the cloud provider managed OpenSearch dashboard.
In this tutorial, we will go over the installation of Logstash 1.4.2 and Kibana 3, and how to configure them to gather and visualize the syslogs of our systems in a centralized location. Logstash is an open source tool for collecting, parsing, and storing logs for future use….
Logrotate is a system utility that manages the automatic rotation and compression of log files. If log files were not rotated, compressed, and periodically pruned, they would eventually consume all available disk space on a system. In this article, we will explore the default Logrotate configuration, then configure log rotation for a fictional custom application.
GoAccess allows you to monitor web server logs in real time, using a simple command-line dashboard, in order to quickly view and analyze traffic metrics. It runs entirely in a terminal with statistics organized into separate panels on one scrollable dashboard. It is also possible to use GoAccess to generate HTML, JSON, and CSV web traffic reports.
A monitoring system receives system metrics. As soon as the value of one of the metrics goes outside the predetermined thresholds, it activates the corresponding trigger, and the monitoring system informs you that one of the metrics is outside normal limits.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to use Topbeat, on an Ubuntu 14.04 server, with an ELK stack to gather and visualize infrastructure metrics. Topbeat, which is one of the several “Beats” data shippers that helps send various types of server data to an Elasticsearch instance, allows you to gather information about the CPU, memory, and process activity on your servers.
GoAccess is a tool for monitoring web server logs in realtime. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to install and configure GoAccess for Apache on an Ubuntu 20.04 web server. You’ll access different log files with the program before walking through the modules available to you and how to navigate between them on the command-line interface.
