Logz.io has announced the beta release of its Infrastructure Monitoring and a forthcoming Jaeger-based tracing solution, aiming to enhance Kubernetes observability by integrating open-source tools like Fluentd and Metricbeat for log and metric collection. The platform allows for the seamless correlation of these data streams using Kibana and Logz.io's metrics UI, offering an open-source based observability solution for monitoring, troubleshooting, and securing cloud workloads. The process involves setting up Kubernetes with Fluentd for log shipping and Metricbeat for metric shipping, each using a daemonset to run on every cluster node. Logz.io's unified platform aims to streamline the use of open-source observability tools, reducing the siloed nature and maintenance burden typically associated with such tools, thus allowing engineers to focus on delivering software efficiently.
