journald and syslog are two popular logging systems used in Linux environments. While they share some similarities, they have distinct differences in their design, functionality, and use cases.
What is Journald and how to do centralized journald logging
What is Journald, what is it's log file location, how to do log rotation for it. Also learn how OpenObserve uses otel-collector to provide centralized logging for Journald.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides a wealth of data about the traffic that flows through your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). By capturing this data, you can gain insights into network patterns, detect anomalies, and improve the security and efficiency of your cloud environment. AWS VPC Flow Logs are a feature that allows you to capture information about the IP traffic going to and from network interfaces in your VPC. In this blog, we will discuss how to capture all fields of AWS VPC Flow Logs, send them to Kinesis Firehose, and then analyze them using OpenObserve's Logs UI and Dashboards..
VRL provides a powerful way to parse syslog messages,using the built-in `parse_syslog` . Some syslog messages may not be parsed effectively using the built-in `parse_syslog` function. In such cases, `parse_regex` can be used to extract meaningful data from syslog messages.
Internet Information Services (IIS) is a flexible, secure and manageable Web server for hosting anything on the Web. Monitoring and analyzing IIS logs can provide valuable insights into the performance and health of your web applications. In this blog, we will walk through the process of capturing IIS logs using the OpenTelemetry Collector (otel-collector), parsing them with Vector Remap Language (VRL), and sending them to OpenObserve for analysis.
