IBM Tivoli Monitoring: UNIX Log Agent

On a typical system, many log files are scattered throughout the file system. The kernel, various utilities, and user applications create these logs to alert an administrator to events such as security violations and software or hardware failures.

As the number of machines that a system administrator oversees increases, the task of managing these logs and utilizing the information they contain becomes increasingly difficult. Additionally, no standardized format exists for log files; therefore there is no simple way to analyze the data.

The IBM Tivoli Monitoring: UNIX Log Agent allows you to manage and utilize log files more effectively.
