This week, the class and I learned how to manage cloud capacity and performance. One of our weekly objectives is to describe the relevance of events and data in monitoring cloud resources. During my readings, I want to point out the importance of utilizing a syslog and its priority on data gathering.
Whether it’s on site or in the cloud, Syslog is the protocol for managing event data logs and sending them to their respected storage location. This protocol collects and stores logging transactions and history information. Event message format, transmission, and handling are three main components to the syslog infrastructure (West, 2022, pp. 361-362). The format is structured with types of data to allow syslog to be used in a variety of environments. The transmission is majority focused on data movement across networks. The handling aspect is for creating and analyzing the event messages.
Two servers the Syslog uses for logging events are the generator and collector. The generator creates syslog messages and transactions from a file and moves them to the collector that gathers these messages (West, 2022, p. 362).
