Security logging and monitoring

Data logging and monitoring is the process of collecting and storing data over a period of time to analyze specific trends or record the data-based events of a system, network or IT environment. It enables tracking of all interactions. Interactions through which data, files, or applications are stored, accessed, or modified, whether on a storage device or application. Logging can produce technical information usable for the maintenance of applications. It supports:

• Identifying performance of the system/application
• Reporting errors, incidents, and other incorrect behavior
• Defining whether a reported bug is a bug
• Analyzing, reproducing and solving bugs
• Testing new features in a developmental stage

Currently, Industrial Edge only supports local storage of log files within IEDs and the IEM.
