Design Log Management System of Computer Network Devices Infrastructures Based on ELK Stack

Device monitoring is an important thing to manage networks. Information-related network state or condition can be gathered through the device monitoring for administrators to take decisions regarding occurred events. Logs can be useful information to monitor network devices. Network administrator of Diponegoro University needs a centralized the logs, so that can receive, manage, and analyze logs. This research identifies functional requirements of the log management system. DSR Method was used to design topology and software of the log management system. The next step is implementation of the topology, software, and application. The last step is testing the system and log management application. The results show that collecting centralized logs and processing these logs into information in the form of dashboards using ELK Stack application successfully implemented. The dashboard resulted by ELK Stack Application will be implemented on the web application using PHP programming language and Code Igniter framework. The test results show that system can receive logs and group the log according to the device location and the severity level of the log.
