Announcing a New, Common Login Screen for Loggly and the SolarWinds DevOps Portfolio
Microservices architectures, and Docker in particular, has been one of the hottest technology topics in 2015. Developers have been quick to recognize the benefits of containerization and are deploying a lot of new applications on Docker. As these applications serve more mission-critical needs, the organizations deploying them need better visibility into the reliability and performance of containerized applications as well as of the Docker service itself. Dockerized applications share an issue that’s common with modern, virtual applications: Machines come and go, while troubleshooting requires insight into what happened across multiple machines that may or may not have shut down and taken their logs with them. An effective logging strategy, coupled with an effective solution for centralizing and analyzing those logs, is essential to staying ahead of the game.
Loggly is very excited to be recognized as a Docker Ecosystem Technology Partner (ETP) for logging. This program recognizes ecosystem partners that have demonstrated integration with the Docker platform. The goal of the program is to ensure that organizations offering logging tools have been working with Docker to ensure highest degree of availability and performance of distributed applications. Partners included in this program have proven integration with the Docker platform and have demonstrated that their solution is able to record logging data for dockerized applications.
We know how important log data is to solving the inevitable problems that crop up with complex software applications, and we want to make it as easy as possible for Docker users to benefit from the insights that Loggly provides.
Thanks to the input we have received from our customers and valuable contributions that many of them have made to the Loggly community, there are now a number of ways to send Docker logs to Loggly.
If you want to explore Docker methods in more depth, read yesterday’s blog post discussing the pros and cons of different approaches. In the meantime, check out the new Docker program and join in the discussion about logging in Docker.
Happy logging!
