  • Striving for excellence

    It’s hard to say exactly when Retrospective Log Analyzer was created. It all started many years ago when some of our staff on a customer site had to deal with a highly complex integration project with hundreds of servers and even more log files created daily by the servers’ software. Of course we tested many open source tools and tried to find an already existing product that would enable a quick configuration of data sources on local and remote servers.  Our expectations were high, though; which we admit. The tool we were looking for had to be able to search logs quickly and present results from different sources in a unified, time-ordered fashion, and narrowing down the criteria and outlining individual elements visually had to be possible. Also we didn’t want a complex SIEM solution but a compact and cost-effective tool!

  • When SIEM is too much...

    Submitted by markus on Tue, 04/16/2013 - 14:11

    Recently I've noticed that in certain circles everyone seems to be going crazy about SIEM - Security Information and Event Management. Maybe it's not as popular as IT industry's equivalent of Justin Bieber - cloud computing, but it’s still very well known as anytime someone asks for a convenient solution to monitor their server logs, people suggest Splunk, Sumo Logic, XpoLog or a similar product. Sure SIEM does have its advantages but it’s simply not for everyone.
