We hope you’re enjoying your time at IBM Think 2019 – thank you for dropping by to chat with our team (at booth 598) and now checking our blog. As promised, setting up modern logging for your Kubernetes clusters on IBM Cloud is really easy and in this article we’ll take a closer log at IBM Log Analysis with LogDNA and how to use it to log your cloud Kubernetes clusters.
In a previous article, we explained the importance of monitoring the performance of your servers.

Many online applications use a web server as the primary point of contact for their clients. At least 43% of those systems are running the Apache HTTP Server. If you’re responsible for one of those systems, you need to work with the Apache error log.
Akamai provides the Content Delivery Network (CDN) which is a highly-distributed platform of servers optimized to deliver contents including web and media applications. These networks enable applications to easily serve content from closer to their end users. Centralizing Akamai logs increases the ability to observe the end to end application and service delivery. LogDNA is proud to enable integration with Akamai to provide better observability and a unified view for our customers.
Lucene has a lot of options for configuring similarity. By extension, Solr and Elasticsearch have the same options. Similarity makes the base of your relevancy score: how similar is this document (actually, this field in this document) to the query?
