As Stephen Marsland once said, “if data had mass, the earth would be a black hole.” A vast part of the immense amount of structured and unstructured data that we call “Big Data” is nothing but machine-originated log data. Logs are generated for a lot of different purposes – from security to debugging and troubleshooting. They constitute a gold mine of useful information and actionable insights if properly stored, managed, and analyzed.
Today we are releasing Graylog v3.0.1 with a few bug fixes. Many thanks to our community for reporting issues and contributing fixes!
Windows logs can be very informative, providing a perfect picture of the activities happening on an endpoint. Unfortunately, the logs can also be hard to decipher when you first start examining them. Graylog uses Pipelines and Data Adapters to enrich logs to make them more functional and easier for you to read.
