At Banzai Cloud we are passionate about observability, and we expend a great amount of effort to make sure we always know what’s happening inside our Kubernetes clusters. All clusters provisioned with Pipeline - our multi- and hybrid-cloud container management platform - are provided with, and rely upon, each of the three pillars of observability: federated monitoring, centralized log collection and traces. In order to automate log collection on Kubernetes, we opensourced a logging-operator built on the Fluent ecosystem.

Update: Logging operator v3 (released March, 2020) We’re constantly improving the logging-operator based on feature requests of our ops team and our customers. The main features of version 3.0 are: Log routing based on namespaces Excluding logs Select (or exclude) logs based on hosts and container names Logging operator documentation is now available on the Banzai Cloud site. Check The Kubernetes logging operator reloaded post for details.
