Log Aggregation

Collecting logs from many systems into a central store for search, correlation, retention, and alerting.

Definition

Centralized logging is essential for containers and autoscaled systems whose local logs disappear when instances terminate. Pipelines typically include an agent, transport, parser, storage, and query UI.

Example

All pod logs are shipped to Cloud Logging so they remain searchable after pods are deleted.

Exam tip

Ephemeral containers lose logs on termination; the fix is a central log pipeline, not larger disks.
