You need logs to catch abuse, but prompts hold personal data and secrets. What to record, what to redact, and who should be able to read it.
Log4Shell (CVE-2021-44228) let attacker-controlled log text trigger JNDI lookups that loaded remote code. Here is how a logger became an entry point.
Write log timestamps in UTC using RFC 3339 and synchronize clocks everywhere, or record the uncertainty. Otherwise incident timelines will not line up.
List every system that should produce security logs, what it records, who owns it and where it goes. A simple table that exposes logging gaps.
Public CISA advice points to at least 180 days of central logs and notes which Windows logs persist longer. How to decide your own retention.
Log floods fill disks, hide real events and blow budgets. Rate limit senders, cap queues, filter noise and alert on the pipeline's own health.
AI triage and hunting can only use logs you collect and keep. Check coverage, time sync, retention and access first, using NIST SP 800-92 as a base.
