Centralized Docker Logging Using ELK Stack

As part of the launch of a practical ELK intensive, we have prepared a translation of useful material for you. We also invite everyone interested to an online meeting with an intensive teacher , where the teacher will talk about the program, the training format and prospects for graduates.






As your infrastructure grows, having robots and a reliable centralized logging system becomes critical. Centralizing logging becomes a key aspect of many IT tasks and gives you a good overview of your entire system.
