The right level incorporates real-time security insights across your ecosystem, central visibility and early detection of security threats before they become incidents. Visit our stand to find out more about how you can modernize your security operations and achieve greater cyber resilience.

• Secure your digital experiences while simplifying complexity
• Surface threats automatically and illuminate security blindspots
• Quickly investigate and respond to evolving threats

Infor reduces data costs and troubleshooting time with automated log levels

Whenever an outage or incident happens, we typically see a spike in errors or warnings. Effective troubleshooting meant having to parse to that log level by creating field exception rules (FERs) or parse operators. It's a process that is inefficient and delays getting to the root cause.

From Troubleshooting to Business Analysis with Log Analytics

Log management and analytics are typically used to troubleshoot and resolve system issues. But since log data is collected from so many tools and systems across the organization, this means that log analytics can span across the business for multiple uses and multiple teams.

Business metrics or KPIs can be extracted from logs, giving an organization visibility into how critical systems support business activity, allowing leaders to take action when specific thresholds are breached, or when trends take a surprising turn.

Key Topics:

• The different types of log data that can be used for business analytics.
• How to turn that log data into meaningful log analytics that span multiple uses for multiple teams.
• Real-world examples of how Sumo Logic Log Analytics can provide the visibility to make data-driven decisions to optimize business operations.
