Key Features

Our comprehensive log management solutions handle various types of logs beyond just job outputs. We offer fine-grained entitlements for enhanced security in our beta log system.

Centralized Job Log Collection and Management

Beta Log comes with ready-made agents for various log sources, enabling out-of-the-box integration with leading workload automation systems such as ZWS, Control-M, Automic, Stonebranch and AutomateNOW! Each agent automatically collects all produced job logs from its source system – including z/OS mainframe platforms as well as Unix/ Linux, Windows and cloud-based systems – and stores them in a central repository. This allows a single installation of Beta Log to support the integration of multiple WLA systems from different vendors, as well as the central management of multiple WLA instances.

By transferring job logs from the WLA system to Beta Log, the performance of the WLA often improves due to the release of valuable memory space.

Secure Storage and Archiving of Log Files

Log files are crucial to many compliance regulations: Their indisputable record of executed tasks makes them invaluable “witnesses” to a company’s operations.

With Beta Log integrated, fine-grained access rights management, it secures access and ensures compliance with information security standards for all administered logs. The optimized and proprietary database, included in every Beta Log, guarantees high-performance and encrypted storage of all log files. Additionally, with the optional archiving module, Beta Log facilitates the outsourcing of long-term data storage to external systems such as AWS S3.

User-Friendly Browser Interface

Accessing log files is essential for user types within an organization – from data center operations and application development to auditors. All require straightforward yet powerful access to log files, but finding the specific log can often feel like searching for the needle in the haystack.

Beta Log addresses this challenge with an intuitive, browser-based retrieval client. Our solutions simplify quick access to log files through various configurable query parameters, allowing users to easily identify and review potential matches. Additionally, for job logs, WLA-specific job information tables provide valuable context for the log file in relation to its job execution.

Intuitive Log File Viewer

The integrated log file viewer offers a suite of essential log management features. It enables users to send log files via email, reprint selected parts and manage notes or annotations, supporting critical business operations for log files. Users can inspect log file content through full-text queries, with the option to add notes and attachments at specific log file positions. All user activities are compliantly stored and archived by Beta View. Additionally, for certain logs, the file viewer can display data streams in either text or hexadecimal format, enhancing versatility and user experience.

Secure Authentication and Platform Flexibility

Our log management solutions offer various authentication options, including RACF for z/OS, built-in authentication and LDAP, supported by a built-in database engine that negates the need for external licenses. Operate seamlessly on z/OS or Linux platforms, with browser frontends supporting Chrome, Edge and Firefox, all using a J2EE application server.

Workload Automation

Log Management for Your WLA Systems

Today’s data center architecture fundamentally relies on Workload Automation (WLA) as one of its cornerstones. With WLA systems, IT processes are streamlined, scheduled and orchestrated, bridging the growing diversity of IT platforms. But the growing number of workflows and platforms causes obstacles for the auditability and traceability of IT processes: Every initiated task of a WLA system is creating its own protocol file, called job log or job output.

Job output contains important information for the immediate or later analysis of the executed tasks. However, the management of the created log files presents some challenges. Each job output must be safely collected and correlated to its containing IT process, all log files must be stored compliantly for many years and for the efficient retrieval of single events, powerful query and review capabilities are needed.

This is where Beta Systems comes into play: Take control of your logs and experience hassle-free and secure log management with our comprehensive platforms and services!
