When running a tool like NGINX, which generally sits in front of your applications, it’s important to understand how to debug issues. And because you need to see the logs, you have to understand the different NGINX logging mechanisms.

As CEO of Cribl, one of my greatest privileges is to spend time on the road and on calls with our customers hearing about their needs and challenges. Cribl is a focused company. We build software for observability and security. With this lens, it becomes clear the industry is neglecting to address the unique needs of our users.
