On: Building a Centralized Logging Infrastructure

[synthc]

Logstash is terrible, i've had so many problems with it.

[esafak → synthc]

what do you prefer?

[synthc → esafak]

With logstash I had cases where it was taking more resources than the application that generated the damn logs.

These days i prefer fluentd, but in some cases I let my apps insert directly into ElasticSearch.

at aptible - we prefer fluentd. one of our engs talks about the reasons why in the article above, but the tldr is fluentd is extensible like logstash, but far better performance
