From the perspective of modern IT infrastructure, Log aggregation is crucial to bringing structure into unstructured raw log data, enabling logs as a medium for multiple use cases, such as efficient infrastructure and performance monitoring, troubleshooting, analysis, and even identification of security issues. For instance, an e-commerce platform can use log aggregation to monitor user activity, a financial institution can aggregate logs from firewalls, antivirus software, and other applications to detect potential security breaches, and a SaaS platform can identify potential performance issues by aggregating logs from its web servers, application servers, and databases.
