Using Solr to Search and Analyze Logs by Radu Gheorghe.
From the description:
Since we’ve added Solr output for Logstash, indexing logs via Logstash has become a possibility. But what if you are not using (only) Logstash? Are there other ways you can index logs in Solr? Oh yeah, there are! The following slides are from Lucene Revolution conference that just took place in Dublin where we talked about indexing and searching logs with Solr.
Slides but a very good set of slides.
Radu’s post reminds me I over looked logs in the Hadoop eco-system when describing semantic diversity (Hadoop Ecosystem Configuration Woes?).
Or for that matter, how do you link up the logs with particular configuration or job settings?
Emails to the support desk and sticky notes don’t seem equal to the occasion.
