Rsyslog is an open-source software utility used on UNIX and Unix-like computer systems for forwarding log messages in an IP network.It implements the basic syslog protocol, extends it with content-based filtering, rich filtering capabilities, queued operations to handle offline outputs, [2] support for different module outputs, [3] flexible configuration options and adds features such as using ...
Security information and event management (SIEM) is a field within computer security that combines security information management (SIM) and security event management (SEM) to enable real-time analysis of security alerts generated by applications and network hardware. [1][2] SIEM systems are central to the operation of security operations ...
Common Log Format. For computer log management, the Common Log Format, [1] also known as the NCSA Common log format, [2] (after NCSA HTTPd) is a standardized text file format used by web servers when generating server log files.

Single sign-on. Single sign-on (SSO) is an authentication scheme that allows a user to log in with a single ID to any of several related, yet independent, software systems. True single sign-on allows the user to log in once and access services without re-entering authentication factors. It should not be confused with same-sign on (Directory ...
Log-structured file system. A log-structured filesystem is a file system in which data and metadata are written sequentially to a circular buffer, called a log. The design was first proposed in 1988 by John K. Ousterhout and Fred Douglis and first implemented in 1992 by Ousterhout and Mendel Rosenblum for the Unix-like Sprite distributed ...
Snare (sometimes also written as SNARE, an acronym for S ystem i N trusion A nalysis and R eporting E nvironment) is a collection of software tools that collect audit log data from a variety of operating systems and applications to facilitate centralised log analysis. Enterprise Agents are available for Linux, macOS, Windows, Solaris, Microsoft ...
