Overview

This section covers how to access and use Stats Analysis in ManageEngine Log360 Cloud. Stats Analysis provides a clear view of how log data is distributed across Storage Tiers, helping you monitor trends, identify high-volume contributors, and drill down into details by size or count. You can apply filters and export reports to focus on relevant data and refine your storage and Storage Tier configurations effectively.

Viewing Stats Analysis

1. Log in to your Log360 Cloud account.
2. Go to the Settings tab and select Admin.
3. In the left pane, navigate to Data Storage and click Storage Tiers.
4. On the Storage Tiers page, select View Stats to analyze the trends for any Storage Tier of your choice.

10. The table updates automatically based on the selected drill-down level (year, month, day, or hour).
11. Switch to the Top Log Sources tab to view the log size and count from the top contributing sources.
• The graph displays log trends for each source, segmented by Archived, Deleted, and Searchable Logs.
• The table below lists each source name, along with corresponding log size and log count.

NOTE: If configured sources, log types, rules, or profiles are deleted, the related stats logs will be categorized and displayed as Unknown.

NOTE: The graph displays only the top 30, while the table will contain the complete list.
12. Switch to the Top Log Types tab to analyze the log volume generated by each log type.
• The graph shows a comparison of log trends across types, segmented by Archived, Deleted, and Searchable Logs.
• The table below shows each log type with its log size and log count.

NOTE: The available tabs and filters in the Stats Analysis view vary based on the selected Storage Tier:

- For Default Storage Tier and Custom Storage Tiers, you can view Top Log Sources and Top Log Types, and filter statistical data by Log Type and Log Source.

- For the Alert Storage Tier, the Top Alert Profiles tab highlights the alert configurations that matched the highest number of logs. Filters are based on Alert Profiles

- For the Correlation Storage Tier, the Top Rules tab lists the rules that matched the highest number of log entries. Filters are based on Correlation Rules.
