So far, we have extracted valuable information from logs in an isolated way.
Well, in this module, Building Log Analysis Workflows,
we'll look at automating log analysis with Python as one step in a bigger
process, and how that process actually looks like. In this module, we'll be
focusing primarily on going beyond single purpose scripts and actually design
and build log analysis capabilities and workflows.
We'll touch upon some of the technical aspects and building blocks
such as working with JSON and interacting with web services using
the request module. Practically speaking,
we'll implement integrations between our scripts and other services and
technologies. We'll be generating alerts and storing them in a database, as
well as indexing and enriched data into a SIEM.
I hope you're all excited for this next module, so let's continue.
