overvåkingslogg

An overvåkingslogg, or surveillance log, is a record of activities or events captured by a surveillance system. This system can be electronic, such as security cameras, computer network monitoring tools, or access control systems, or it can be a manual log kept by personnel. The purpose of an overvåkingslogg is to provide an audit trail of what has occurred, when it occurred, and sometimes who was involved. These logs are crucial for security purposes, allowing for the review of incidents, investigation of unauthorized access or misuse of resources, and verification of compliance with policies.

In the context of IT security, overvåkingslogger often detail login attempts, system access, file modifications, and network traffic. They can also record user actions within specific applications or on operating systems. For physical security, logs might document entries and exits from secure areas, movements of individuals or vehicles, or any observed anomalies. The data within an overvåkingslogg can range from timestamps and event descriptions to more detailed information like IP addresses, usernames, or camera footage references. Maintaining and regularly reviewing these logs is a standard practice in many organizations to ensure operational integrity and security.
