Turn Raw Data into Reliability by Changing Performance Perspectives
Blog post from Coralogix
In the context of global microservices architecture, traditional methods of observability and manual log investigation become inefficient and unsustainable due to the high volume and complexity of data, particularly during service disruptions. The concept of "Loggregation," as used by Coralogix, introduces a more effective strategy by utilizing unsupervised machine learning to automatically identify and cluster recurring log structures, filtering out high-cardinality noise and surfacing actionable patterns. This approach shifts the focus from individual log interrogation to a template-based oversight system, significantly reducing mean time to recovery (MTTR) and helping maintain system reliability by managing error budgets efficiently. By categorizing log data into constants and variables, Loggregation enables a more streamlined investigation of system failures, allowing teams to quickly identify and resolve systemic issues, thereby ensuring operational excellence and preserving innovation within organizations.
