Log Management
The collection, storage, and analysis of system and application logs from AI workflows to support auditing, incident response, and model performance tracking.
Definition
Centralized logging pipelines ingest logs from data-ingestion, training runs, inference APIs, and security events. Logs are structured (JSON with metadata), indexed in searchable platforms (ELK, Splunk), and retained per policy. Governance configures alert rules for anomalous patterns (e.g., elevated error rates), enforces log-integrity via hashing, and ensures log access controls and retention schedules comply with legal and internal requirements.
Real-World Example
A retail chatbot logs every user message, model response, confidence score, and runtime metric into a secure ELK stack. Security alerts trigger when error rates exceed thresholds or PII appears in logs. Quarterly audits verify log completeness and retention policy adherence—facilitating quick forensic investigations when incidents arise.
