[v2] - insight-log component #3241

Open davsclaus opened 9 years ago

davsclaus commented 9 years ago

I wonder if we should port the insight-log component to v2 so eg users of Apache Karaf can use it, and we have the log plugin in hawtio working with it.

jstrachan commented 9 years ago

Yeah. I'm liking the idea of all containers; no matter what technology is used - having awesome logging and search via elasticsearch. I guess to capture all the data from karaf we need a json appender so we can reuse the same logspout/logstash code to collect all logs from all JVMs and other processes and not lose any information.

e.g. https://github.com/fabric8io/fabric8/issues/3090 and https://github.com/fabric8io/fabric8/issues/2869

I wonder if we should port the current Logs plugin in hawtio to query ElasticSearch? One thing thats nice about the ElasticSearch approach is that if a container cannot startup; we still get to see its logs. The insight-log only really works if the JVM starts up correctly and only shows about 2000 lines.

davsclaus commented 9 years ago

Yeah the insight-log was limited, but it worked for demo purposes ;) and it was there out of the box.

jstrachan commented 9 years ago

yeah ;)

Guess there's no harm in porting the insight-log bundles! :)

jimmidyson commented 9 years ago

Why can't we just use the kibana stuff that's already there? Embed kibana dashboard would work well, seeing as we're capturing container logs already.

I would like a plain simple traditionally log viewer as well, eg so people can use hawtio and connect to any JVM and see the log plugin that dumps the logs from activemq / karaf / tomcat / wildfly / standalone.

Not sure I really understand the use case for software that is supposed manage a distributed environment like Fabric8, but enjoy!

Well maybe insight-log should be in hawtio then. But in fabric 1.x it was there.

A lot of users value the insight-log, when they use hawtio with activemq, karaf etc. Also its plain simple to understand as its just like a log tail.

jstrachan commented 9 years ago

Yeah; we definitely should be recommending Elasticsearch / Kibana as the ideal way to deal with logs across multiple machines (and letting folks view logs of stopped/broken containers too); but having a simple way to look inside JVMs to view their logs is a good fallback if folks haven't installed ES/Kibana. Ideally the Logs UI would be able to detect ES / Kibana is running and let folks search on that etc.
