Description
Due to the numerous functions an AirWatch MDM Server implementation processes, log files can become extremely large because of the volume of data. The more processes that are logged, the more log data is collected. This can become very difficult to analyze manually; therefore, it is important to process them automatically and tailor the views of the data to only those events of interest based upon selectable criteria. Without the automation of log processing, based upon events of interest to security personnel, log files will not be viewed accurately and actions will not be taken when a significant event occurs on the system because it can be too overwhelming. Significant or meaningful events may be missed due to the sheer volume of data if logs are reviewed manually.
