Centralized log management
Across dozens of locations and hundreds of servers, thousands of log files are generated every day. Technically, this data exists, but operationally, it is often useless. Distributed logs create an illusion of visibility. They cannot be searched effectively during an incident, correlated with metrics, or presented as audit evidence. At Hawatel, we design and implement centralized log management platforms that transform logs from passive archives into operational tools for rapid Root Cause Analysis (RCA), anomaly detection, and regulatory compliance.
What do you gain with centralized log management?
- A single search point for your entire environment: Logs from servers, applications, databases, network devices, and cloud environments are available in one place. During an incident, you search once, not across multiple disconnected systems.
- Correlation between logs, metrics, and events: Logs are no longer isolated records. Combined with metrics, they provide the complete context behind every event.
- Rapid root cause analysis (RCA): Full-text search, filtering by time, service, and severity allow you to find a specific error within an environment generating millions of events every day - in just moments.
- Reliable audit evidence: Centralized log retention with a complete event history that meets regulatory requirements such as the Polish KNF, DORA, ISO, and NIS2. Not assumptions about what happened, but documented operational evidence.
- Anomaly and security threat detection: Unusual login patterns, unauthorized access attempts, and abnormal service behavior become visible in real time, before they escalate into security incidents.
Our services
- Log management platform design and implementation: We design and deploy a centralized logging platform tailored to the size of your environment, your retention requirements, and your team's operational structure. We configure indexing, retention policies, and access controls in accordance with your operational and regulatory requirements.
- Log collection and normalization: We integrate logs from Linux and Windows servers, applications, databases, network devices, Kubernetes clusters, and cloud environments. We normalize log formats and standardize their structure so every log entry is searchable and comparable, regardless of its source.
- Correlating logs with metrics and events: We combine log data with infrastructure metrics to create a unified observability layer. One incident, one context, one platform for analysis.
- Operational dashboards and alerting: We design dashboards for IT operations and security teams, along with alerting rules that detect anomalies before they turn into outages.
- Retention and archiving for regulated environments: For organizations subject to KNF, DORA, ISO 27001, and NIS2 requirements, we configure log retention, archiving, and immutability policies. Auditors receive verifiable operational evidence, not screenshots.
- Migration from distributed logging solutions: If your logs are spread across multiple systems, or not collected centrally at all, we migrate them to a centralized platform without interrupting log collection or losing historical data.
