Log Analytics

Overview

The Sumo Logic App for Artifactory automatically creates an account with Sumo Logic and sends it logs for analysis. Once an account is created through Artifactory, you can connect several instances to that same account. The Sumo Logic data analytics platform will, in turn, display pre-enabled dashboards which can be customized as needed. This enables you to access Sumo Logic’s premium operational analytics directly from Artifactory, letting you index and analyze both structured metrics data and unstructured log data together in real time. The Sumo Logic App for Artifactory provides you with a customizable dashboard showing a variety of analytics such as:

Traffic by geo-location
Active IPs
Most active repositories
Top referred files
Requests by status codes
Denied login attempts
and much more.

For more details about the different analytics that the Sumo Logic App for Artifactory can provide, please visit the Sumo Logic website.
