Observability Workshop: A Modern Logging Workflow
This is the first workshop in the back to school series. This one will be all about observability, and more specifically logging. Everyone will get a lab environment and you will learn about the newest logging capabilities of Elastic. Don’t forget to bring a (charged) laptop and a charger.
Over the last few years, Elastic has rebuilt its logging toolset to match the scale of the very systems it is observing. Elastic’s logging tools let SREs and Developers quickly and easily employ parsing, aggregations, and visualizations (ES|QL, Streams) as part of their daily-driver RCA workflows. Elastic has carefully woven ML (log rate analysis, log pattern analysis) and AI (generating GROK patterns and ES|QL queries) into those tools in ways which remove tedious and complex tasks, allowing the SRE and Developer to focus their attention on quickly and accurately determining a Root Cause. This in turn helps keep MTTR constant, regardless of growth in the scale and complexity of the system you are observing.
What you’ll learn:
• Using ES|QL to search logs
• Using ES|QL to parse logs at query-time
• Using ES|QL to do advanced aggregations, analytics, and visualizations
• Creating a useful dashboard
• Using ES|QL to create alerts
• Using AI Assistant to help write ES|QL queries
• Using Streams to setup ingest-time log processing pipeline
(GROK parsing, geo-location, User Agent parsing)
• Setting up SLOs
• Using Maps to visualize geographic information
• Scheduling dashboard reports
• Setting up a Pivot Transform
• Setting up RBAC
• Setting up data retention
