Splunk Integration with SpringBoot — Part 1
Hey all, As most of you are working with SpringBoot and MicroServices. We are in need of some tool to analyse logs of our application. So in this article let’s discuss about one such tool to analyse of logs. It is Splunk.
What is Splunk?
Splunk is a tool or platform that is used in most of the business and it helps us to analyse or search the logs of the application. Since it an Open source it is easily available for the integration.
Splunk provides an user-interface dashboard that helps us to monitor, search and analyse its logs effectively.
Why Splunk?
If there are multiple MicroServices, then in the traditional methods, the logs from all the MicroServices are collected together. If there is any issue with one MicroServices then it is difficult to find and analyse the error from the log. That’s where Splunk is useful.
Splunk provides us with Create Index Feature. Here it creates unique index for each of the MicroServices and the logs are collected based on this Unique Index Name. So whenever any issue happens with any MicroService then it is easier to debug through the log with Index name and find the Error Log.
Apart from this there are many other features available they include Monitoring…
