# Loginson: a transform and load system for very large scale log analysis in large IT infrastructures

## TL;DR

Loginson is a high-performance, scalable log centralization system designed for large IT infrastructures, enabling efficient log collection, processing, and visualization to improve security and troubleshooting.

## Contribution

Loginson introduces a scalable log collection and analytics system that outperforms existing solutions by leveraging vertical scalability to reduce costs.

## Key findings

- Outperforms other log centralization solutions in scalability and performance.
- Reduces CAPEX and OPEX costs for large-scale log management.
- Provides high-level analytics through a visual interface.

## Abstract

Nowadays, most systems and applications produce log records that are useful for security and monitoring purposes such as debugging programming errors, checking system status, and detecting configuration problems or even attacks. To this end, a log repository becomes necessary whereby logs can be accessed and visualized in a timely manner. This paper presents Loginson, a high-performance log centralization system for large-scale log collection and processing in large IT infrastructures. Besides log collection, Loginson provides high-level analytics through a visual interface for the purpose of troubleshooting critical incidents. We note that Loginson outperforms all of the other log centralization solutions by taking full advantage of the vertical scalability, and therefore decreasing Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) and Operating Expense (OPEX) costs for deployment scenarios with a huge volume of log data.
