Log Management evaluation criteria have largely been focused on the functional aspects of log collection, storage, and analysis. Functional criteria are certainly important, but as organizations extend the use of log files beyond the initial use, scalability evaluation becomes more important in the decision process. As reviewed in this whitepaper, at a minimum log management scalability should be assessed along the lines of event volume, assets, locations, capacity, and analysis. Organizations should then evaluate candidate solutions across all of these scalability dimensions and most importantly should base requirements on the long-term scope of their Log Management initiative and not just the immediate drivers.
