E(F)K cluster on Kubernetes-On-ARM - Part 2

Development Kubernetes Docker ARM Raspberry PI

This is the second part in a series about handling logs on Kubernetes-On-ARM. In the first part we installed ELK and started sending syslog events from our nodes using logstash-forwarder. In this part we will start collecting logs from our pods and Kubernetes components. If you wan’t to cache up here’s a list of previous posts:

The plan was that this part would be about how to start collecting logs from Kubernetes. But I wasn’t satisfied with how logstash-forwarder worked. The thing is that, once the logstash-forwarder daemon is started, the node can’t run much else.

ELK cluster on Kubernetes-On-ARM - Part 1

Development Kubernetes Docker ARM Raspberry PI

One of the most important parts of running a cluster is to gain knowledge of whats going on. Using tools like kubectl logs or docker logs is fine if you run one or two nodes, but it soon gets impossible to get an overview of whats going on, and you need to be able to view, query and monitor your logs from one central place.
