what is machine data?

Machine data is the data produced by all digital systems and devices in your company Infrastructure. This can be all computers, servers, mobile devices, applications, call records, security systems, network devices, embedded systems, IoT devices (sensors), big data systems et al. Massive amount of machine data is produced by all these machines every second of every day.

This data is mostly produced in the form of log files. This data (as standalone or when combined with other enterprise data) holds important insights both from business perspective and IT operations. It can be User behavior, security risks, capacity consumption, service levels, fraudulent activity, customer experience and much more. That is the reason it is one of the most valuable segment of Big Data

Examples of Machine data usage

Some of the successful examples of usage of machine data are:

Industrial Manufacturer use real time machine data from field equipment, together with historical performance data and weather data to predict equipment issues before it happens

Monitoring oil and gas pipeline based on machine data from marine sensors and predicting natural disasters

Airport use machine data from ticketing system, check-in system, traffic counter system and baggage to plan staff deployment at the airport

Companies using Firewall logs, server logs and application logs to monitor unusual traffic and predict DDOS attacks

Turn machine data into Operational Intelligence
