Summary

In October 2019, Daniel Berman announced a new integration between Google Stackdriver and Logz.io, allowing users to transfer data from Google Cloud Platform (GCP) into Logz.io via Google Pub/Sub. Originally, logging within Google Cloud was limited to manual methods until Google acquired Stackdriver in 2014, integrating it as a managed service for logging. Despite improvements, Stackdriver still falls short in comparison to other log management tools like the ELK Stack, which offers advanced querying and visualization capabilities. The article details a step-by-step guide on how to integrate Stackdriver with Logz.io, providing a powerful solution for monitoring Google Cloud projects by leveraging both Stackdriver's native GCP integration and the analytical capabilities of the ELK Stack. This integration is container-based, lightweight, and supports multiple Google Pub/Sub pipelines, enhancing the ability to manage complex environments effectively.
