About the technology
Don't fly blind! An effective logging system can help you see and correct problems before they cripple your software.

Logging in Action teaches you to record and analyze application and infrastructure data using Fluentd. Using clear, relevant examples, it shows you exactly how to transform raw system data into a unified stream of actionable information.
