Working with Insight
Insight is a comprehensive system designed to store and manage logs in the Audit Store, which is a repository for all audit data and logs on the ESA. The Audit Store cluster is scalable and supports multiple nodes, allowing for secure inter-node communication using certificates. Insight provides various functionalities, including accessing dashboards, managing nodes, viewing logs, and creating visualizations. It also offers tools for analyzing data, monitoring system health, and ensuring secure communication between components.
To improve your logs, set up an Audit Store cluster. This lets you collect logs from different systems, giving you a complete picture of what is happening. By gathering logs from various sources, you get a clear view of all transactions. Centralizing logs helps you monitor and analyze the health and activities of your ecosystem. You can also use the Audit Store screens to check the status of the nodes and find any issues with the cluster.
View a list of all the nodes connected to the Audit Store cluster on the Nodes tab. Use the leave cluster option from the node to remove the node from the cluster. However, if a node crashes or is decommissioned, then it would not be possible to remove the node from the Nodes list. Use the register and unregister buttons to work with these nodes on the Nodes list.
Roles assigned to the nodes determine the functions performed by the node in the cluster. As the cluster grows, the role of the node can be modified to have nodes with dedicated roles.
View the logs that are stored in the Audit Store using Discover. The basics of the Discover and an overview of running queries on the Discover screen is provided here.
Use the Insight Dashboards to visualize the data present in the logs. The dashboards provide various charts and graphs for displaying data. Use the predefined graphs or customize and view graphs.
Protegrity provides Insight Dashboards that help analyze data and operations performed. Use the graphs and heat maps to visualize the logs in the Audit Store.
Protegrity provides out-of-the-box visualization for viewing the data. The configuration used for the visualization are provided here. This helps better understand and interpret the data shown on the various graphs and charts.
Use the visualizations provided by Protegrity to create dashboards. Alternatively, use the configuration provided here as a template to create sample visualizations for viewing the information logged.
