"A great book to introduce developers to the essential role that logging plays in software design and support." - Trent Whiteley

Logging in Action teaches you how to make your log processing a real asset for your application, all with free and open source tools. You'll use the powerful log management tool Fluentd to solve common log problems, and learn how proper log management can improve performance and make management of software solutions easier. Through useful examples like sending log driven events to Slack, you'll get hands-on experience applying structure to your unstructured data.

about the technologyFluentd is a powerful log management tool that seamlessly handles messy logging data, from operational errors, to application events, and security events. It decouples log data, such as SNMP or slow database queries, from backend systems and easily sends it where it needs to go—thanks to 500+ flexible plugins covering all major services.

about the bookLogging in Action is a guide to streamlining your log processing, turning logged data into a tool that will boost your application's performance. It's packed with tips and tricks on how proper log management can improve your application's security, speed, and cost-effectiveness. You'll master the basics of the Fluentd management tool, then take a peek behind the scenes at how different configurations will impact and improve the way your systems function. By the time you're done, you'll be able to reliably configure Fluentd so that it can easily scale to handle even the largest data loads.

Build cloud native observability pipelines with minimal footprints and high-performance throughput—all with Fluent Bit, Kubernetes, and your favorite visualization and analytics tools.Logs and Telemetry is an all-practical guide to monitoring both cloud-native and traditional environments with the Fluent Bit observability tool. It takes you from the basics of collecting app logs, all the way to filtering, routing, enriching and transforming logs, metrics, and traces.Inside Logs and Telemetry you'll learn how to:

Deploy Fluent Bit for telemetry (log, metric, and trace) collection Configure pipelines to filter, route, and transform data Integrate Fluent Bit with containers and Kubernetes Configure Fluent Bit to work with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and other open source tech Monitor applications at scale with minimal footprint Address challenges in Kubernetes-based ecosystems using Fluent Bit Utilize Fluent Bit for real-time event analytics to derive new metrics and insights Develop custom filters, inputs, and outputs for unique or reusable use cases

Logs and Telemetry draws on both the input and support of key committers and founders of Fluent Bit, and author Phil Wilkins' years of experience in DevOps. Inside, you'll see how you can integrate Fluent Bit with Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, FluentD deployments, and more. Learn how Fluent Bit can not only meet all the demands of cloud-native use cases, but also more traditional deployments as well.

Understand everything you need to know about Oracle's Integration Cloud Service and how to utilize it optimally for your businessAbout This Book• The only guide to Integration Cloud Service in the market• Focused on practical action to deliver business value• A professional's guide to an expensive product, providing comprehensive training, and showing how to extract real business value from the productWho This Book Is ForThis book is ideal for any IT professional working with ICS, any Oracle application or cloud solution developer or analyst who wants to work with ICS to deliver business value.What You Will Learn• Use ICS to integrate different systems together without needing to be a developer• Gain understanding of what a number of technologies and standards provide – without needing to understand the fine details of those standards and technologies• Understand the use of connectors that Oracle provide from technology based connections such as file and database connections to SaaS solutions ranging from Salesforce to Twitter• Enrich data and extend SaaS integration to route to different instances• Utilize a number of tools to help develop and check that your integrations work before connecting to live systems• Introduce and explain integration concepts so that the integrations created are maintainable and sustainable for the longer term• Provide details on how to keep up to date with the features that Oracle and partners provide in the future• Get special connections developed to work with ICSIn DetailBusinesses are built on data, and applications that access that data. In modern businesses the same cloud-based data stores and applications might be accessed by hundreds of different applications from thousands of different devices via APIs. To make this happen, APIs must be wired together i.e. integrated. Oracle Integration Cloud Service provides a complete method for integrating enterprise applications in the cloud. Integration Cloud Service (ICS) provides a cloud hosted means to integrate systems together using a graphical means to define and represent integrations.This book will be a comprehensive, hands-on guide to building successful, high-availability integrations on ICS. This book sets out to demonstrate how ICS can be used to effectively implement integrations that work both in the cloud and on premise. It starts with a fast, practical introduction to what ICS can do for your business and then shows how ICS allows you to develop integrations not only quickly but in a way that means they are maintainable and extensible. Gradually it moves into more advanced integrations, showing how to achieve sophisticated results with ICS and work with external applications. Finally the book shows you how to monitor cloud apps and go beyond ICS to build even more powerful integrated applications.By the end of the book, you will the knowledge on how to use ICS to solve your own integration needs and harness the technologies in a maintainable and sustainable manner.Style and approachThis book will take a pragmatic approach and will be a business-focused guide to delivering business value with ICS.
