Logging. Everyone does it. Many without even knowing why they do it. It is considered a boring chore. A chore that is done by habit rather than for a purpose and one that does little more than consume CPU cycles and arrays of disks. Too many log environments are build with the maxim: "We should keep those logs in case we need them for something." Rather than: "Those logs (and their patterns flow and volumes!) tell use critical things about our applications and infrastructure." But logging doesn't have to be a chore or a purposeless exercise. Logging can be a core and critical part of your Development Operations and Security activities that adds value and helps you be more efficient effective and identify and resolve issues faster. This session will show you how to do logging right with open source framework LogStash. We'll learn how to build a scalable performant and useful open source logging environment. You'll see how to structure your events give them context and make them available to search and consume by developers security and operations staff. LogStash will change the way you think (and how much you care!) about logging. You'll certainly never think logging is boring again.
