Log management

Hi there little one! Do you know what logs are? They are like notes that people write down when they do something on the computer. Sometimes, things can go wrong on the computer and it's important to know why. That's where log management comes in.

Log management is when grown-ups collect all the notes (logs) from the computer and put them in one place so they can read them easily. This helps them figure out what went wrong or what someone did on the computer.

Sometimes, there are so many notes (logs) that it's hard to find the important ones. That's why grown-ups use special tools to sort the notes and make them easier to read. They can even use these tools to search for specific words or actions.

Log management is important because it helps grown-ups keep track of what's happening on the computer. It's like keeping a diary of everything that happens, so if something goes wrong, they can go back and look at the diary to see what happened. This can help them fix the problem faster or even prevent it from happening again in the future.

So, that's log management in a nutshell. It's just a fancy way of organizing all the notes (logs) from the computer so grown-ups can keep track of what's happening and solve any problems that come up.
