Speaker: Jan-Piet Mens

Abstract

In this talk we'll discuss some tools and utilities with which you can implement centralized logging. In particular, we talk about Logstash and Graylog2, both of which use ElasticSearch as a storage back-end. We'll also cover some different methods on how you can "ship" your logs to those systems.
