DevConf.in 2018 is the second free annual community conference sponsored by Red Hat for Developers, System admins, DevOps engineers, Testers, Documentation writers and other contributors to open source technologies. It is a platform for the local FOSS community participants to come together and engage in the knowledge sharing through technical talks, workshops, panel discussions, hackathons and such activities.
OpenShift provides an EFK (Elasticsearch, Fluentd, Kibana) logging service which can be used for non-containerized as well as containerized applications. We will present an introduction to this service, a short how-to get it running, and a description of the openshift-ansible playbooks used to configure it for production purposes. We will describe a couple of different deployment scenarios to collect logs from infrastructure services like oVirt and OpenStack. We will give a brief demonstration of Kibana, troubleshooting Elasticsearch with Cerebro and how to monitor Elasticsearch using Prometheus. We will describe the lessons learned. Finally, we will present some short term and longer term plans for the project.
