External Audit files and the Thunderstone Appliance
Posted: Tue Mar 11, 2008 10:53 am
Hello Again Jason. It's been a while and I'm finally able to take some time to get this working again. I'll let you know what I come up with. The requirement has grown to be able to search all types of log files (Solaris Audit, Windows Event Logs, Application Logs, Etc).
I do have a greater understanding of the appliances target market, but I have to try and shoe-horn the appliance into the solution so prove value. (wonderful, isn't it)
One option I'm looking at is to parse the data to XML and feed a DB that is walked by the appliance (like you said earlier). The downside is the volume of data. Thousands of log/audit files.
Unless there are connectors for these types of log files now.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks,
Rob
