Most organizations feel the need to centralize their logs — once you have more than a couple of servers or containers, SSH and tail will not serve you well any more. However, the common question or struggle is how to achieve that.
This talk presents multiple approaches and patterns with their advantages and disadvantages, so you can pick the one that fits your organization best:
* Parse: Take the log files of your applications and extract the relevant pieces of information.
* Send: Add a log appender to send out your events directly without persisting them to a log file.
* Structure: Write your events in a structured file, which you can then centralize.
* Containerize: Keep track of short lived containers and configure their logging correctly.
* Orchestrate: Stay on top of your logs even when services are short lived and dynamically allocated on Kubernetes.
Each pattern has its own demo with the open source Elastic Stack (previously called ELK Stack), so you can easily try out the different approaches in your environment. Though the general patterns are applicable with any centralized logging system.

The best speaker in the first 2 days of the conference. It was extremely informative, crystal clear, the topic was deeply interesting, and the explanation was excellent. Congratulations!
Best talk so far until now
Talk was perfectly delivered by a very good advocate.
Included all the subtle stuff a seasoned stack developer knows which is great for beginners through one of the nicest demos of the conference. Curated slides also contributed to the success.
Excellent talk: clear, well timed and most of all directly applicable in real life.
Great speaker, great examples, super useful. I will try the examples for sure
Excellent talk and speaker
Awesome talk, demo and tricks!
It's need real examples and results for this.
Very nice talk. I myself administer several ELK clusters, but even though the talks was mainly about basics, I still learned something new. The speaker had also excellent appearance. Thank you very much
Dynamic talk and really interesting topic. It was great to attend this one.
