Design backup and recovery for event logging and log review and prove it by restoring.
Designing Event Logging Systems and Log Review
A structured, applied course in event logging and log review — designed to be used the week you return.
Course Overview
Most outages involving event logging and log review are triggered by a change somebody considered routine. Availability targets for log review are commercial commitments, whatever the engineering team calls them. Practitioner evidence points the same way: this part of technology and systems delivery improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. It suits anyone whose decisions touch event logging and log review, in large organisations and small ones alike. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in this strand of technology and systems delivery before they become incidents. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in log review, not around theory headings. Improvement in event logging and log review stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in log review rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. The final session converts the week's work on the wider technology and systems delivery agenda into commitments with owners and dates.
