Talking about highly scalable and reliable sys-
tems, issues like logging and monitoring are often
disregarded. However, being able to manage to-
day’s software systems absolutely requires deep
knowledge about the current state of applications
as well as the underlying infrastructure. Extract-
ing and preparing debug information as well as
various metrics in a fast and clearly arranged
manner is an essential precondition in order to
handle this task.
Since we at Bertsch Innovation GmbH also
face increasing requirements concerning Media-
Cockpit as one of our core products, we decided
to establish a centralized logging infrastructure
in order to come up to the application’s evolution
towards a more and more distributed system.
In this paper, I want to describe the steps
that I have taken in order to setup a functioning
logging tool stack consisting of Elasticsearch,
Logstash and Kibana (usually abbreviated as ELK stack ). Besides outlining proper
setup and configuration, I will also discuss possi-
ble pitfalls as well as custom adjustments made
when ELK did not meet our demands.
