Distributed microservices and cloud computing have been game changers for developers and enterprises. These services have helped enterprises develop complex systems easily and deploy apps faster. That being said, these new system architectures have also introduced some modern challenges. For example, monitoring data logs generated across various distributed systems can be problematic.
The basic goal of log management is to make log data easy to locate and understand so that users can identify how their services are performing and troubleshoot more quickly.
