What is VMware vCenter Log Insight?
VMware vCenter Log Insight delivers automated log management through log analytics, aggregation and search, extending VMware’s leadership in analytics to log data. With an integrated cloud operations management approach, it provides the operational intelligence and enterprise-wide visibility needed to proactively enable service levels and operational efficiency in dynamic hybrid cloud environments.
Connect to Everything
Log Insight collects and analyzes all types of machine-generated log data (such as application logs, network traces, configuration files, messages, performance data and system state dumps). It enables administrators to connect it to everything in their environment—operating systems, applications, storage, firewalls or network devices—for enterprise-wide visibility.
Powerful Log Analytics
Log Insight provides faster analytical queries and aggregation than traditional tools, especially on larger data sets. It identifies key-value pairs and adds structure to all types of unstructured log data, enabling administrators to troubleshoot quickly, without needing to know the data beforehand.
It delivers real-time monitoring, search and analytics, coupled with a dashboard for stored queries, reports and alerts. These features enable IT to derive meaningful insights from terabytes of log data and correlate events across multiple tiers of a hybrid cloud environment in a single location, cutting down troubleshooting times, improving operational efficiency and reducing IT costs. Log Insight also provides a single location to collect, store and analyze logs at scale.
Ease of Use
Since it is made available as a virtual appliance, Log Insight is easy to deploy. Its intuitive, GUI-based interface makes it easy to run simple interactive searches, as well as deep analytical queries for quick insights, providing immediate value and improved IT operational efficiency. There is no need to learn a new query language to get started. To make things even simpler, Log Insight automatically chooses the best visualization for your data, saving you valuable time.
Built-in vSphere Knowledge
Developed by VMware experts, Log Insight comes with built-in knowledge and native support for vSphere. It is the solution best suited for your VMware environment. With Log Insight you can analyze logs beyond your virtual infrastructure and use a central log management solution to analyze data from your entire IT environment, including your physical infrastructure, operating systems, applications, network and storage devices.
