White Paper Abstract:
This document defines the design and methodology for a scalable Syslog solution. It provides leading practices for deploying a robust and scalable set of tools and applications to support effective collection, storage, and analysis of Syslog messages. Collecting and storing Syslog messages helps to provide reporting capabilities for identifying trends and failures, as well as data mining capabilities that focus on problem and incident management tasks.
This paper primarily focuses on Cisco IOS Software implementations, but is applicable to other Syslog message
types and general event management. It is meant to help get you started on the road to managing Syslog messages
in your environment.
