Beta 92 Strategy Objectives
  • To support Beta 92 customers who use Beta 92 for
    Open Systems (EDF) extensively
  • Distributed system
  • Save network traffic
  • To enable the Data Center to offer their
    customers the business lines
  • more services
  • Extend the scope of Beta 92 to provide services
    for other parts of the company e.g. the ability
    to audit SAP R/3 security information (logs)
    after the event
  • Available stand alone without the z/OS platform

Beta 92 Log Consolidator
  • Basic product features
  • gathers together in one system the various
    technical logs produced in the company accessible
    from a single user interface
  • process logs, database logs, system logs, ERP
    logs, etc.
  • Customer benefits
  • offloads the systems generating the logs
  • provides a central definition of the log audit
    policy
  • saves unnecessary logging-in to various systems
  • supports users in particular departments, with
    particular jobs

4
Beta 92 Log Consolidator
  • Basic product features
  • to scan the logs as they are read for particular
    critical information which are extracted and
    alerted according to the rules defined.
  • e.g. batch input session failed - alert the
    production staff via SMS
  • Customer benefits
  • supports rapid response to critical situations
    (email, scripts, etc.)
  • supports fine categorization of the logs involved
  • provide simple system management task capability

5
Beta 92 Log Consolidator
  • Basic product features
  • offer policy definitions for which logs are kept,
    for how long, depending on the system, user, etc.
    Including the possibility of long term archiving.
    Including intelligent retrieval support.
  • e.g. all SAP R/3 security logs must be kept for
    15 years. Retrieval support according to SAP
    machine, date, time and log type.
  • Customer benefits
  • supports audit requirements
  • efficient audit of the logs - no more messing
    with CD ROM!

6
Beta 92 Log Consolidator
  • Provide pre-defined rules for monitoring and
    log-retention of certain security products
  • e.g. pre-defined rules for monitoring SAP R/3
    security
  • Customer benefits
  • provides know-how
  • reduces deployment time

  • Retention periods
  • Scan policy
  • Alerting policy
  • Reporting policy

Beta 92 Log Consolidator
  • Integrated to Beta 92 - Beta 92 Enterprise
  • Single interface for job and system logs -
    independent of where they are (Beta 92 OS/390 or
    Unix)
  • The interface is a GUI including a console for
    alerts
  • Beta 92 as one possible archive for Beta 92 LC
  • The systems can be combined in various ways for
    performance and storage optimization supporting
    both centralized and decentralized policy
    definition and log storage
