A major issue that people face in managing a big system is log files management. In our setup we were primarily facing two issues<\/div>\n
\n1.) We had around 10-15 different applications, it was a messy things to track the logs as you have to login to those systems to view the logs
\n2.) Other issue was cleaning up of log files<\/div>\n
\n
\nResolution for the second issue was quiet easy, one of the solution can be to write a script that will delete the logs files older then say n days and then add this script in crontab to execute with some frequency say daily. This approach had an issue, with the addition of a new system you have to do this setup every-time. As a one time solution for this problem we have created a job in our CI system(jenkins) which can be configured to run after some frequency & then reads the details of machine, location of log files which needs to be cleaned. The second approach gave us the flexibility to manage cleaning of the log files from a single place.<\/div>\n

For first issue obviously we have to look out for some tool & the first google hit \ud83d\ude42 suggested log.io and it seemed meeting all our requirements. So the one line definition goes like this Log IO is a Real time log monitoring tool, through this tool you can monitor multiple log files in a single browser window<\/b>.<\/p>\n

I referred the link given below to configure logio
\nhttp:\/\/linuxdo.blogspot.in\/2012\/05\/install-logio-on-centos.html<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m not going into the details of setting up of log.io or how it works, but if you have any confusion you can leave a comment<\/p>\n

For your reference I’m attaching an image of log.io instance we are using<\/p>\n

So happy logs tracking \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
