SSH, tail, and grep don’t scale very well – logstash is better.

Logstash is an open source, free, and scalable tool that can help you get a grip on your logs and events. Search and analyze your infrastructure with ease, in real-time; let logstash be a crystal ball for viewing events in your infrastructure and your business. Additionally, logstash acts as a pipeline, so you can easily automate reactions and alerts through the logstash pipeline to create a self-healing infrastructure or to fire off alerts.

This talk will introduce logstash and cover how it can be used to debug and analyze problems with your infrastructure and your business: centralize your event and log collection, analyze data, and correlate failures.
