Which tool can be used for logging in microservice architecture?
There are various tools to do that. The most popular ones are Logstash and Fluentd. For example, if you orchestrate your microservices with containers by using k8s, both of them have an implementation(Filebeat/Fluentbit) to collect logs from the containers. We will handle the scenario with Filebeat.
How do you achieve centralized logging in microservices?
Using Log Streams is one way to implement centralized logging. The common way to implement it is to stream microservice logs to a common queue. Distributed logging server listens to the queue and acts as log store. It provides search capabilities to search the trace.
What are the components of a centralized logging solution?
The Centralized Logging solution contains the following components: log ingestion, log indexing, and visualization. You must deploy the AWS CloudFormation template in the AWS account where you intend to store your log data.
How are Cloudwatch Logs created for centralized logging?
CloudWatch Logs destinations are created with the required permissions in each of the selected Regions in your primary account. After the destinations are created with the necessary permissions, you can configure CloudWatch Logs subscription filters for log groups to be streamed to the centralized logging account.
What kind of logging is available in AWS?
