To design a centralized log aggregation and monitoring system that collects logs from multiple servers, processes them in real time, and provides actionable insights for system health monitoring and error detection in distributed environments.
Understand log management and monitoring frameworks.
Generate sample application and server logs.
Configure log shippers such as Filebeat for data collection.
Implement centralized log ingestion using Logstash.
Store logs in Elasticsearch or similar distributed storage.
Create structured log parsing and indexing mechanisms.
Develop dashboards using Kibana for log visualization.
Implement real-time error detection and alerting mechanisms.
Categorize logs by severity levels.
Analyze trends in system errors and performance issues.
Optimize indexing strategies for faster queries.
Implement role-based access control for log data.
Conduct load testing with high log volumes.
Document monitoring architecture and workflow.
Present system demonstration with simulated failure scenarios.
