Designing Scalable Log Management with ECK and Lua
Project SummaryWe designed a comprehensive log management solution by leveraging Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK), custom curator implementations, and Lua scripting.
Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK): The deployment of ECK across Kubernetes clusters facilitates centralized log collection, ensuring efficient aggregation of logs from diverse cloud applications. The solution is designed to scale, capable of handling large volumes of log data as business needs expand. ECK was seamlessly integrated with existing cloud services for smooth log ingestion, ensuring that all log data was collected and processed efficiently.
Custom Curator Implementation: To automate the deletion of old indices, optimize index performance, and manage storage efficiently, we developed a custom curator solution. This automation ensured that the system remained high-performing and minimized storage costs. Tailored retention policies were implemented to preserve critical log data while purging obsolete data, further optimizing storage use and costs.
Lua Scripting for Log Formatting: Lua scripts were used to standardize log entries, ensuring consistent formatting across different sources. This standardization made logs easier to read and analyze. Logs were cleaned by removing unnecessary noise and normalizing log data, enhancing their readability and usability. The log formatting process was automated to minimize manual intervention and reduce errors, ensuring that logs were consistently formatted and ready for analysis.
