Kafka is an open-source distributed streaming platform for high-throughput and fault-tolerant real-time data streaming in large-scale systems. It can integrate with a wide range of data sources and sinks, which include databases, message queues, big data processing frameworks like Apache Spark and Apache Flink, and many more.

If you’ve dropped your house key in tall grass, you know how difficult it is to locate a small item hiding in an overgrown field. Perhaps, you borrowed a metal detector from a friend, then returned to the field hoping to get the loud beep that indicates finding metal in an otherwise organic area. Trying to find patterns in strings of data is the same process.

Log files are invaluable tools for developers and system administrators when it comes to debugging issues within web applications. They often serve as the primary source of information when troubleshooting website malfunctions. Among these logs, the Apache HTTP server’s access log stands out as a key resource for debugging applications and gaining insights into visitor activity.

When discussing observability, the “big 3” - logs, metrics, and traces, always get mentioned. But for some, more data doesn’t always mean better. Our lead engineer, JJ, had some advice to share about how logs may not be necessary for everyone. Simplifying your observability stack isn’t difficult - you just need to be intentional with implementation. Check out more MetricFire blog posts below, and our hosted Graphite service!

As modern applications grow more complex, debugging becomes increasingly challenging. Applications consist of multiple parts which can generate enormous amounts of log data, making debugging difficult. SolarWinds Loggly can help store, manage, and sift through this data. To demonstrate, we’ll set up an application built on.NET Core 9.0 and MongoDB; then, we’ll walk through how to export its logs to Loggly.
