Learning objectives

  • 01Centralise logs across a node fleet
  • 02Trace an incident within a large volume
  • 03Define a sustainable retention policy

Guided lab

Centralise logs and find the cause of an incident injected by the instructor.

Independent lab

Cost out retention and propose a policy BAC can sustain.

Security angle

A log can contain sensitive data: filter before centralising, not after.

Assessment

Incident located and root cause identified within the allotted time.
