What It Does
ArcSight Logger collects information from any system that generates log data. It can process that information as much or as little as desired, and can produce ultra-fast searching across the data. As a result, organizations of any size can use this high performance log data repository to aid in faster forensic analysis of IT operations , application development, and cybersecurity issues, and to simultaneously address multiple regulations.
How It's Different
Until now, log analysis was asset-centric and organizations purchased one product for security and compliance reporting, a different product for IT operations search and yet another one for application development. Today, the questions that need to be answered through log analysis are increasingly user-centric and can span any and all infrastructure. Traditional log management tools cannot be expanded to analyze logs across the enterprise because they are limited by the type of sources; have restricted search/reporting capabilities and are not scalable. ArcSight Logger is a universal log management solution that can capture and analyze ALL enterprise log data to answer questions of individual teams and can easily be expanded into an enterprise-wide log management solution when needed.
