Splunk visualization - real-time log analysis
Enterprise applications typically continuously generate logging or messaging data in real time, allowing support personnel to monitor user activities, application events, and even the performance of processing within the application or even the application itself by reviewing this information.
The advantage of being familiar with this data may seem obvious, for example, some uses may be:
- Monitoring memory or space usage may allow administrators to be proactive and address shortages before there is an application outage
- Identifying trends in application performance can allow support personnel to resolve conflicts or errors causing degraded performance before reaching unacceptable levels
The opportunity for using application server logged information to improve performance and the level of support for an application is conceivably infinite.
Businesses are now realizing that application logging is an untapped resource in that it holds a wealth...
