Log Analysis

Early this year i had the opportunity to build my first log monitoring and collecting solution. Nothing fancy, built on Elasticsearch+Logstash+GrayLog2 paired with nxlog as the log forwarding agent since it is so powerful.

It is amazing how powerful these tools are. Not only do these key-value stores provide easy storage, fast search and indexing but also distribution of data.

If i had more time and specific projects at hand I'd be hooked. For now i consider this type of data-stores a major player in the foreseeable future.
