CLM basics
Every second, your servers, applications, and network devices generate logs — timestamped records of what's happening in your IT system. A failed database connection, a spike in login attempts, an unexpected restart: it's all in the logs. The challenge is finding the signal in the noise.

You just got access to CLM — let's get your first logs flowing in under 10 minutes.
Use cases
Centreon Log Management enables you to detect and resolve a wide variety of issues in an IT system, ranging from minor errors to major incidents. Many typical CLM use cases focus on root cause analysis. Here are a few concrete examples of what CLM can help you detect from analyzing missing logs, unexpected log types, or unusual log volumes.
