Software Telemetry: Reliable logging and monitoring, Jamie Riedesel

Software Telemetry

shows you how to efficiently collect, store, and analyze system and application log data so you can monitor and improve your systems.

Summary

In

Software Telemetry

you will learn how to:

Manage toxic telemetry and confidential records

Master multi-tenant techniques and transformation processes

Update to improve the statistical validity of your metrics and dashboards

Make software telemetry emissions easier to parse

Build easily-auditable logging systems

Prevent and handle accidental data leaks

Maintain processes for legal compliance

Justify increased spend on telemetry software

Software Telemetry

teaches you best practices for operating and updating telemetry systems. These vital systems trace, log, and monitor infrastructure by observing and analyzing the events generated by the system. This practical guide is filled with techniques you can apply to any size of organization, with troubleshooting techniques for every eventuality, and methods to ensure your compliance with standards like GDPR.

About the technology

Take advantage of the data generated by your IT infrastructure! Telemetry systems provide feedback on what’s happening inside your data center and applications, so you can efficiently monitor, maintain, and audit them. This practical book guides you through instrumenting your systems, setting up centralized logging, doing distributed tracing, and other invaluable telemetry techniques.
