SigNoz - Logs Performance Benchmark

Dec 22, 2022 By Nityananda Gohain In SigNoz
Logs are an integral part of any system that helps you get information about the application state and how it handles its operations. The goal of this blog is to compare the commonly used logging solutions, i.e., ElasticSearch(ELK stack) and Loki(PLG stack), with SigNoz on three parameters: ingestion, query, and storage. Performance benchmarks are not easy to execute. Each tool has nuances, and the testing environments must aim to provide a level playing field for all tools.

What is a log shipper - Top 7 Log Shippers that you can use

Dec 20, 2022 By Satyam Tripathi In SigNoz
Centralizing logs (arranging all records in one place) is often challenging as we need to decide whether to use a log shipper or directly log from the application. If you are not familiar with a log shipper, logging directly from the library might be a suitable option for development (it is easy to configure). However, in production, you'll likely want to use one of the available log shippers, mainly due to buffers, since blocking the application or dropping data (immediately) may not be an option.
