HP-UX monitoring with ManageEngine Log360

ManageEngine Log360's log management and SIEM capabilities now include support for HP-UX, a robust and widely used UNIX-based operating system. With this added support, organizations gain comprehensive visibility into HP-UX server activities by ingesting and analyzing its log files—ensuring proactive monitoring, faster threat detection, and audit-ready compliance reporting.

How Log360 ingests HP-UX logs

Log360 uses primarily agentless syslog forwarding, along with agent-based mechanisms when needed, to collect HP-UX logs from your servers. The solution ingests various log files, such as syslog, auth.log, kern.log, and application-specific logs, from local or remote systems.

Once ingested, logs are parsed, normalized, and analyzed in real time using powerful rule-based engines.

Monitoring capabilities

• Security threat detection: Identify suspicious activities like repeated failed logins, unauthorized file access, or privilege escalation attempts.
• User activity tracking: Monitor login attempts, command executions, and access anomalies.
• Configuration change auditing: Track administrative changes to system configurations and security settings.
• Custom alerts: Generate real-time alerts for specific error patterns, security events, or critical system thresholds.
• System performance insights: Detect resource bottlenecks, disk space issues, and process anomalies.

Critical HP-UX events monitored

• Authentication failures and access control violations
• System errors and kernel messages
• Disk I/O issues and file system errors
• Process activity and service status changes
• Security policy violations and suspicious user behavior

Key benefits

• Unified visibility: Correlate HP-UX logs with logs from other operating systems, network devices, and applications from a single console.
• Security intelligence: Detect and alert on anomalous behaviors or security threats within your HP-UX environment in real time.
• Faster troubleshooting: Quickly trace system issues, performance problems, and security incidents using granular search and contextual log timelines.
