Setup your Linux system to rotate the logįile on schedule and send the files off to persistent storage such as a backup disk orĪWS S3 and you’re good. If an application logs at a slow to medium rate, such that writing to disk is feasible,.How they are persisted varies, based on the amount of logs and the To stakeholders such as software engineers, system administrators,Īnd others with access to the systems in times of need. Generated logs must be persisted in some way, and be made readily available What use are logs that aren’t there when you need them? Kind of software or code or tool that can potentially behave unexpectedly. Here I use “application” as a general term to describe any Trail on what the software is doing, to be used when (not if) the application misbehaves. Or just plain strings printed, there must always be some form of Whether it be structured logging, such as in JSON format, Is crucial for any application in production. This may be the most common setting but it’s still the safest combination as in many scenarios, the log files are not loseable because of compliance, security, troubleshooting, and audit purposes.Before the rest of the article, let’s all agree that generating proper logs What I can suggest is that you configure the json-file logging driver with the blocking mode. But in order words, it can’t guarantee that all messages will get to the driver instead there will be potential loss where it is being sent. ![]()
