Logging as Event Streams

Logging infrastructures have traditionally been centered around building human readable logging, but as systems have grown, the volume of log data is impractical for a human to consume.

In this session we explore how to:

• Transporting logs across multiple datacenters.
• Structured Logging: The emerging trend to use JSON or other structures to treat log messages as computer consumable first.
• Use of open source tools like Graylog2 to analyze log streams.
• Use of Event Stream Processing tools like ESPER to analyze log streams.
• Triggering automated actions based on logging.
