Alert Logic Log Manager Deployment on vCloud Air
High-level Overview
Alert Logic Log Manager Overview
The Alert Logic Log Manager product collects logs from physical and virtual devices in on-premise, cloud, or hybrid environments and
transports them to an Alert Logic datacenter.
From there the logs can be aggregated, correlated and viewed in the user interface and reports can be produced to satisfy security or
compliance needs.
Deployment:
There are three deployment methodologies for Log Manager: agent only, appliance only, or mixed appliance and agent.
•
The most common deployment method is agent only; in this case the Log Manager agent is installed on every server. In order to
capture logs from devices on which the agent cannot be installed, a remote collector can be installed and the devices would be
configured to send remote syslog to it. Agents are available for Windows and Linux to capture event logs, syslog, and flat files.
•
Appliances can be installed when there is a need for a single point of egress for the log data or agents cannot be installed on the
servers.
