Servicio de logs centralizado para los servidores del Centro de Cómputo de la UCSG, visualizado por medio de una aplicación web dentro de la red interna.

Abstract

This project covers the problem of how necessary it is for a company to have a logs centralization structure implemented to achieve a better visualization and management of events generated by the equipment and services managed by the organization. Currently there are multiple protocols and tools for visualization and administration of centralized logs, that is why we proceeded to investigate background and basic definitions of the topic in general, in order to develop a project for administration and visualization of logs focusing on the needs of the Centro de Cómputo of the Universidad Católica de Santiago de Guayaquil, since it is the department in charge of managing the technological platform that supports the different academic and administrative services within the university. As part of the objectives of this project, the requirements and characteristics that were requested by the Centro de Cómputo for the implementation of a centralized logs team were analyzed. For the selection of the tool used, the most known ones were compared with the required characteristics, implementing a LogAnalyzer server on a CentOS operating environment that captured information on different types of equipment and servers using the SYSLOG protocol. In order for this project to be implemented by the Centro de Cómputo in a production environment, an installation and configuration manual of LogAnalyzer for the implementation of the centralized server in the Centro de Cómputo is presented considering the different servers and services you have.
