Aerospike provides deep operational visibility through native logs, real-time metrics, and seamless integration with tools like Prometheus, Loki, and Splunk. Modern operations teams use these to troubleshoot faster, optimize smarter, and keep real-time systems healthy at scale. Aerospike emits structured log lines with component-level detail, categorized by event level and severity, making it easier to filter and analyze relevant information. The logs are configured via the `logging` stanza in `aerospike.conf`, and the log levels can be set using the context field or by specifying a logging configuration. Logs provide what happened, while metrics tell when and how often something occurred, used together they tell why. Aerospike's native logging complements monitoring tools like Prometheus to improve operations by providing deep visibility into database activity at any given moment.
