Agenda I`ll show how to setup a centralized logging solution running in k8s cluster that works beyond hello world examples.I`ll use local minikube but the same charts with adjustments could be used for normal k8s cluster (the real diff usually comes with usage of persistent storage). What you need to be installed: K8s Cluster (as I said, I use minikube ) Helm ( https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/ ) Code: https://github.com/Vfialkin/vf-observability A bit of theory first: Let’s start with how logging works by default in Docker and Kubernetes. application log appender should forward logs to standard output, this way it will be passed to Docker container. default container logging driver will forward them to Pod where logs are stored as JSON files (see: configure logging drivers ). There are other options for log drivers like syslog, fluentd or splunk , but for now, I’ll limit scenario to default driver. at the end all those files will end-up in a node folde...
