Logging in Action: With Fluentd, Kubernetes, and more

Logging in Action teaches you to record and analyze application and infrastructure data using Fluentd. Using clear, relevant examples, it shows you exactly how to transform raw system data into a unified stream of actionable information. You'll discover how logging configuration impacts the way your system functions and set up Fluentd to handle data from legacy IT environments, local data centers, and massive Kubernetes-driven distributed systems. You'll even learn how to implement complex log parsing with RegEx and output events to MongoDB and Slack.

What's inside

• Capture log events from a wide range of systems and software, including Kubernetes and Docker
• Connect to custom log sources and destinations
• Employ Fluentd's extensible plugin framework
• Create a custom plugin for niche problems
