Solaris log monitoring with ManageEngine Log360

ManageEngine Log360 monitors, collects, parses, stores, analyzes, correlates, and archives logs from Solaris systems—including authentication logs, system events, and audit trails—for effective log management, threat detection, investigation, and compliance reporting.

Methods of collecting and analyzing Solaris logs in Log360

Log360 listens on specific ports (default UDP 514) to receive syslog data from Solaris devices without requiring an agent installation on the Solaris host. This method is simple to configure and widely used for Unix/Linux/Solaris systems.

Note: You can configure Syslog service on Solaris devices, which lets the Log360 console receive logs via UDP, TCP, or TLS.

Monitoring capabilities

Log360 collects and analyzes various Solaris log types.

Authentication logs: Successful and failed login attempts, sudo and su usage
System logs: Service status changes, shutdown and startup events, hardware issues
Audit logs: File access, permission changes, account activity
Daemon and kernel logs: Background process behavior, system kernel messages
Application logs: Logs from Solaris-hosted applications and services

Critical Solaris events monitored

Log360 tracks key Solaris events, including:

User logins (successful and failed)
Privileged command executions (sudo, su)
Role-based access changes and account modifications
System reboots and service failures
File permission and ownership changes
Process creation and execution logs

Key benefits

Centralized visibility: Monitor all Solaris systems from a unified console, eliminating the need to access each system individually.

Real-time threat detection: Leverage correlation rules, alerts, and behavioral analytics to detect unauthorized access, privilege misuse, and anomalies in real time.

Streamlined investigation: Accelerate investigations with enriched log context, forensic search, and timeline views for deeper analysis.

Security analytics: Gain actionable insights by identifying patterns, trends, and risky behaviors across Solaris environments.

Key security challenges and solutions for Solaris systems

Challenges	Solutions provided by Log360
Auditing Solaris environment	Maintain detailed audit trails for user activity, system changes, and access control events
User activity monitoring	Track login behavior, session history, and unusual access patterns across Solaris systems
Privileged user activity monitoring	Monitor root and sudo actions, detect unauthorized escalations, and maintain accountability
Advanced threat detection	Identify suspicious behavior through correlation, pattern matching, and UEBA for Unix systems
Compliance auditing and reporting	Meet compliance requirements (for example, PCI DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27001) with built-in Solaris reports
