Managing hardened appliances without centralized logging can be tough.
Tools like Splunk and Grafana offer powerful dashboards and insights-so if you can deploy OTEL or vendor agents for logs and metrics, go for it!
When agents aren't an option, boost efficiency with a well-tuned rsyslog setup. Block duplicate logs, monitor critical systems, and ensure reliable forwarding to Splunk or Grafana with smart configuration adjustments.
