From YouTube: OpenShift Commons Briefing #72: Cloud Native Logging with Fluentd

Description

In this briefing, Eduardo Silva, Open Source Developer at Treasure Data will give us an overview of Fluentd and demonstrate how to use it with OpenShift & Kubernetes. Fluentd was recently added as a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) member project.

Background:

Regardless of your environment, logging can be complex. System services and specific application logs need to be consumed different ways and the data retrieved likely comes in a variety of different formats, which presents an interest challenge. In the Cloud Native era, we see this complexity increase when deployment happens at scale. At this point having a non-generic logging tool is not enough to solve the problem. Instead a custom solution capable to integrate, understand and connect the dots between different end-points is highly recommended; that’s why Fluentd was created.

Fluentd allows you to implement an unified logging layer in any type of environment. It was designed with flexibility in mind, with a pluggable architecture of more than 600 extensions provided by the community, and can collect, parse, filter and deliver logs from any source to most of the well known destinations like local databases or cloud services.
