Rancher is an open-source platform designed for managing Kubernetes across various environments, supporting any certified Kubernetes distribution like GKE, AWS, and Azure. This guide details the process of integrating Rancher with Axiom for efficient monitoring of Kubernetes clusters and services. By following the tutorial, users can ingress logs from Rancher to Axiom, enabling analysis, streaming, and visualization of queries on Kubernetes logs. The setup involves creating an EKS cluster on AWS through Rancher, generating an ingest token on Axiom, and using Filebeats to forward logs. The integration allows real-time insights and visualizations of Kubernetes logs, facilitating data segmentation and aggregation. The tutorial provides step-by-step instructions for setting up the necessary infrastructure and configuring the Axiom dataset, highlighting the ability to monitor and analyze high volumes of Kubernetes logs in real-time.
