log-management-system

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the complexity of managing application and system logs, ensuring efficient storage, retrieval, and compliance.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Log Rotation & Retention: Implements policies for managing log file size and age.
• Forwarding & Aggregation: Sets up reliable log shipping to centralized systems.
• Storage Tiering: Optimizes costs by using different storage types for different log ages.
• Use Case: You need to set up a robust logging infrastructure for a new microservice, ensuring logs are rotated daily, retained for 30 days in hot storage, and then moved to cold storage for a year, all while being forwarded to Elasticsearch.

Quick Start

Configure log rotation for your application logs to rotate daily, keep 7 old files, and compress them using gzip.
