We’re excited to announce the release of [Paessler PRTG Data Hub](https://www.paessler.com/prtg/extensions/prtg-data-hub), a product extension for Paessler PRTG that improves your log management and analysis.   
As IT environments produce more and more log data, it’s a crucial task to manage them effectively and keep everything secure, compliant and running smoothly.   
PRTG Data Hub solves some of the biggest challenges in IT operations, helping you handle logs more cost-effective, efficiently, stay compliant, and filter your data. 

Let's take a look at how you can improve your log management processes.

## What are the key features of PRTG Data Hub? 

### Cost-effective data handling  

Only send the logs you really need to your SIEM systems and long-term storage to save money. You can set up different strategies like storing high-severity logs long-term while summarizing low-priority logs. I’ll help you make the most of your storage space and data management processes. 

### Efficient log forwarding  

PRTG Data Hub is  a versatile log forwarder, that supports multiple data sources and protocols. You can send, for example, firewall logs to both PRTG and your SIEM system at the same time, to enhance your overall log management strategy, log analysis, as well as IT monitoring.   
It's also an easy way to share data with your ITOps, DevOps, SRE, or SecOps teams.

### Improved real-time monitoring  

Rapid status changes can really screw up your monitoring and therefore the actions you want to take. With the PRTG Data Hub this behavior is a thing of the past, because it helps you to keep the last state of your devices.   
It’s an easy way to reduce false alarms from intermittently connected IoT devices and provides a more stable and accurate view of your network. 

### Compliance-focused management  

Meet regulatory requirements like NIS-2, NIST, and TISAX with targeted log collection, filtering, and forwarding capabilities. With our new product extension you can forward your audit-critical logs to your long-term storage, ensuring compliance with industry standards.  
With PRTG Data Hub you can preserve the immutability of your log data during processing and forwarding, maintaining the integrity of your logs.

### Advanced filtered log analysis  

Speed up your investigation and response to critical issues by examining logs based on protocol, severity, volume or payload. This lets you quickly identify events, like failed login attempts across your network, which makes it easier to respond in time to these security issues.

## How PRTG Data Hub works 

PRTG Data Hub is going to be the central log management tool within your IT infrastructure. Interested in how it works? Here is a quick overview: 

✅ Data collection: It acts as a UDP relay, receiving syslog and SNMP trap messages from different network devices and applications.

✅ Processing and filtering: It uses configurable rules to process incoming log data, applying filters based on IP address, severity, or content.

✅ Data centralization and distribution: Acts as a central hub for logs across your network, receiving logs from multiple possible sources. You can manage and distribute this data to various endpoints as needed. 

✅ Forwarding mechanism: It has a flexible forwarding system that routes processed log data to PRTG, SIEM systems, and other specified endpoints.

✅ State maintenance: It keeps a record of the last known state for monitored devices, and uses this information to enhance monitoring stability.

✅ API Integration: Provides API access to retrieve the last known device state and other relevant data stored in memory. This allows integration with PRTG and other systems.
