2K-SOFTWARE implemented a centralized system based on the ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) to address the challenges of decentralized and insecure log management. This initiative significantly improved system monitoring, security, and developer productivity.
Previously, logs were scattered across various production servers, forcing developers to engage in tedious logging and require insecure direct access to production environments for debugging.
The new ELK-based implementation provides:
Single source of truth: All application and service logs from each server are now consolidated into a single, centralized, and secure platform.
Enhanced security: Developers can now effectively troubleshoot issues without requiring direct access to production servers, while adhering to strict security protocols.
Faster problem resolution: With Kibana's advanced analysis and powerful interface, teams can find errors and analyze system behavior in seconds, and create custom dashboards for real-time monitoring.
