The Application Log Data Challenge
Application logs contain valuable information about your customers’ interaction with your applications, including user behavior, user experience, successful features, and more. Additionally, application logs contain critical information required to troubleshoot and optimize your applications, including finding root cause of failures, tracing customer sessions, and identifying performance bottlenecks.
Given the value of the information stored in application logs, both IT and business professionals are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of extracting the right insight from their application log data. However, while extracting insight from application log data has never been more crucial, it has also never been more difficult. Today’s current on-premise solutions come with enormous operational cost, complexity, and scalability problems. Consequently, application log data is often never collected, or collected but never analyzed.
