Ask HN: What's your preferred logging stack in Kubernetes
8 by ryanisnan | 4 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN, I'm looking for advice and insight on what y'all might use for an internally hosted logging solution in Kubernetes. Currently we use a self-hosted Graylog setup, but are finding it difficult to maintain as our system grows. Here's our current setup: - Multiple clusters - Logs aggregated to a single Graylog setup, itself running in Kubernetes - Logs are sent to Graylog via Fluentbit Some problems we've had are: - Index management in Graylog's ElasticSearch cluster is a PITA when you have many differently shaped log forms going to shared indices (managing separate indices per source is also a pain) - Management of MongoDB in Kubernetes is frustrating and has been a reliability challenge I'd love for us to be able to use a hosted logging solution but $$$ obviously. I'm aware of many other alternatives, but one of the things I've painfully learned is that a basic feature matrix only tells a very small piece of any story. The real education comes from running this type of tech and living with it through scale and various lifecycle events. Some questions I have: - What logging solutions are you using in your Kubernetes environment, and how has your experience been? - How do you handle log retention and storage costs? TIA
