Editor's Notes
- #4: Collect and Centralize - Sumo Logic can collect terabytes of data from any app, cloud, device, custom hardware, sensor, server and network sources. Collectors collect, compress, cache and encrypt the data for secure transfer. Search and Analyze – Administrators and Analysts can run searches and correlate events in real-time across the entire application stack. Monitor and Visualize - Custom dashboards and visualization help you easily monitor your data in real-time. Custom alerts notify you when specific events are identified across your stack.
