Bio: Rashid is a data geek, a developer and a recovering operations
addict. He's currently a developer at Elasticsearch. However, he spent the last 10 years in operations writing tools to make his life
easier. Every now and then one of those tools is useful enough that he should publish it.
Kibana is the thing he wrote to get around the fact that he couldn't
afford exorbitantly expensive commercial log analysis. he originally wrote
it to work with a fantastic log pipeline called Logstash, which stores
events in Elasticsearch.
Abstract: Rashid will talk about patterns for log shipping, the problems
in traditional centralized log storage, as well as issues with syslog shipping overall. We'll explore the options in the open source space, and define a stack that can be gradually merged into a legacy syslog network, with further optimizations as we later spin down the legacy redundant logging infrastructure.
