Abstract for a talk entitled 'Turbo charge your logs'.
Raw
gistfile1.txt
The log files our applications produce contain a wealth of information about how things are performing at any moment, yet for many of us the only time we look at them is when our we're trying to diagnose problems during an outage. Wouldn't it be great if our log files could be mined in real time and even alert us before things get to a critical state? This talk will show you exactly how to do that using open source tools. We'll look at using software such as Monolog and Rsyslog to collect information from individual servers as well as Graylog2 to aggregate, store and make quickly searchable millions of log records from multiple sources. By the end of this talk you'll have the knowledge required to mine your log data in real time, helping you to avoid major problems.
