With 10+ years of experience in building a centralized logging solution as well as being ELK consultants for hundreds of companies, we can design, optimize and troubleshoot logging setups through all steps:

Log generation: The log format and initial destination options have important trade-offs. We're here to help you implement the right one for your needs: here's an example analysis for syslog.

Log processing pipeline: Should you use Logstash, Fluentd or something else? How do we parse and enrich logs efficiently? What about Ingest nodes? We can help you find the right answer for these questions (and many more) as they apply to your use-case.

Make Elasticsearch/OpenSearch perform and scale: We've done this literally since both projects were born through consulting, production support and training, as well as Sematext Logs.

Visualize logs in Kibana/OpenSearch Dashboards: From best practices in plotting metrics to writing useful alert rules.

Sematext brings years of logging and monitoring expertise to the Docker community. They’ve been an active participant via their Docker performance and log monitoring solutions, their Docker logging and monitoring webinars, and numerous blog posts. Overall, collaborating with Sematext has delivered valuable logging and monitoring tools and resources to our community.
