We will build a system that implements the practice of continuously gathering, storing, processing and visualizing log data from disparate docker containers in order to optimize system performance, identify technical issues, better manage resources, strengthen security and improve compliance. The proccess will be dividing into three steps:
- Collecting logs data
- Storing logs data
- and finally visualizing the logs in a dashboard
Our docker environment generates a lot of log data. For ensuring our containers are secure and performing well, it’s really important to analyze these logs and gather insights. Locating, monitoring, and managing them manually can become such a complex task. Here’s where log management and analysis tools come into play. They basically gather the log data, analyze them, and create visualizations.
