Exploring and analyzing logs

According to your use case, you’ll either filter the log explorer for high-severity logs or rely on alert events for more complex situations.

To see logs in Centreon Log Management, you first need to configure an OpenTelemetry collector on each host you want to receive logs from.

Centreon Log Management gives you several ways to explore your data:

• The log explorer: search and filter logs to investigate issues and perform root-cause analysis.
• Alert events: see what's happening in real time and react quickly to incidents. (To get alert events, you need to create alert rules first.)
• Dashboards: view current and historical data visually to examine trends and understand changes over time.
