In my work, I had to use several logging systems, including:
- ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) — for collecting, storing, and visualizing logs. It allows efficient searching and analyzing of large data volumes.
- Prometheus + Grafana — for monitoring and alerting, often used together with logs for comprehensive observation.
- Fluentd / Fluent Bit — for aggregating and routing logs from various sources.
- Syslog — a classic logging system in Unix-like systems.
Example of using ELK Stack:
# Logstash configuration for log intake
input {
file {
path => "/var/log/myapp/*.log"
start_position => "beginning"
}
}
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
}
}
These tools enable centralized collection, storage, and analysis of logs, which is critical for service support and debugging.
