All, I am researching log management solutions ranging from opensource to enterprise size. I have been looking over old emails in the group and have seen some recommendations. Most made on their own needs or expertise. What I need a rode map on what to look for. What do I need (or should need). What should I be looking for as a minimum. what I dont need. What I shouldnt use. If anyone has a good list (or a site that has one) along these lines that would be great. Thanks in advance.. Rob Remember, life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer to the end you get the faster it goes.
