About Oracle Log Analytics

Oracle Log Analytics is a unified, integrated cloud solution that lets you monitor, aggregate, index, analyze, search, explore, and correlate all log data from your applications and system infrastructure.

Using Oracle Log Analytics, you can:

• Explore logs specific to the application that’s experiencing a problem

• Analyze and explore log data efficiently

• Gain business and IT operational insight from log data

• Rapidly obtain the key values and collate them from the logs

Log events are loaded, analyzed, field-enriched, and indexed in Oracle Log Analytics. These operations can be performed either by using out-of-box parsers, by using user-defined labels, or by defining extended fields. Depending on the amount of field-enrichment done for each log event, the index size (the unit of measure for metering and billing) in Oracle Log Analytics may vary between 1.2 to 1.8 times the original log volume. While Oracle provides users with guidance on the amount of overhead that these activities will create in the indexes, the actual amount will depend on the specific operations defined or performed by the users.

Note:

Oracle Log Analytics provides National Language Support (NLS) for ingesting logs that contain single-byte and double-byte character sets. NLS is available for the following nine languages:

• French

• German

• Italian

• Spanish

• Brazilian Portuguese

• Japanese

• Korean

• Simplified Chinese

• Traditional Chinese
