How to configure journald.conf to customize journald logging in Linux

journald and syslog are two popular logging systems used in Linux environments. While they share some similarities, they have distinct differences in their design, functionality, and use cases.

What is Journald, what is it's log file location, how to do log rotation for it. Also learn how OpenObserve uses otel-collector to provide centralized logging for Journald.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides a wealth of data about the traffic that flows through your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). By capturing this data, you can gain insights into network patterns, detect anomalies, and improve the security and efficiency of your cloud environment. AWS VPC Flow Logs are a feature that allows you to capture information about the IP traffic going to and from network interfaces in your VPC. In this blog, we will discuss how to capture all fields of AWS VPC Flow Logs, send...

VRL provides a powerful way to parse syslog messages,using the built-in `parse_syslog` . Some syslog messages may not be parsed effectively using the built-in `parse_syslog` function. In such cases, `parse_regex` can be used to extract meaningful data from syslog messages.

Internet Information Services (IIS) is a flexible, secure and manageable Web server for hosting anything on the Web. Monitoring and analyzing IIS logs can provide valuable insights into the performance and health of your web applications. In this blog, we will walk through the process of capturing IIS logs using the OpenTelemetry Collector (otel-collector), parsing them with Vector Remap Language (VRL), and sending them to OpenObserve for analysis.

Netflow is a network protocol that allows you to analyze network traffic. Learn how to use it to analyze network traffic.

What are Apache, GPL and AGPL licenses and why OpenObserve moved from Apache to AGPL

There are times when you would like to filter logs at source. This blog post shows how to do that when capturing logs using otel-collector.

Send metrics using kube-prometheus-stack to OpenObserve

Explore how OpenObserve, an open-source observability tool, collaborates seamlessly with GitHub Actions through the 'openobserve_github_action_logs' repository by Mark Percival. This integration offers developers an efficient way to capture logs, enabling long-term analysis to detect build patterns and improve CI/CD pipelines. Dive into the benefits of continuous data monitoring and how it can revolutionize your software delivery process.

Serilog Sink for OpenObserve is an extension that integrates Serilog, a favored logging library for .NET applications, with OpenObserve. Crafted by Konrad Kaminski-Pawlak, the sink allows for effortless logging to OpenObserve, thereby enhancing the ability to store, analyze, and manage logs.

Setup Fluent Bit on Ubuntu for Efficient Log Forwarding

Understanding Kubernetes and container resource management using rust

Sending logs from Kubernetes to OpenObserve using FluentBit is easy. This blog is a step by step guide to do that.

OpenObserve is an open source, cloud native open source observability platform that provides ~140x (YMMV. Could be higher or lower based on data entropy) lower storage costs compared to Elasticsearch. Use cases include real-life log data, significantly reduces operational costs, and improves ease of use. It can scale to petabytes of data, is highly performant, and allows you to sleep better at night 😴. If you are looking for an observability tool for logs, metrics, and traces, take a look at OpenObserve...
