Modern IT environments produce massive volumes of log data.
Log correlation connects those events across systems to detect threats sooner, reduce alert fatigue, and speed root-cause analysis.
Learn how it works and best practices for implementing it.

Across our talks, we focused on the challenges we’re actively solving:
🔹 Scaling time series storage reliably
🔹 Reducing the cost
🔹 Simplifying log management
🔹 Exploring how #AI assistants can reshape how engineers interact with their data

⚡ 10x faster log processing
⏱️ Latency reduced from 30 seconds to under 3 seconds
📈 99.95% availability sustained during peak global events
Kaizen Gaming modernized log management across more than 600 microservices supporting the Betano platform. SRE and Platform Engineering teams gained real-time visibility, faster incident response, and predictable performance during major sporting events.
Led by Marinos Giamouridis and Miltiadis Tsatsakis, the Kaizen team combined high-throughput ingestion, Illuminate content, and Data Lake storage with Graylog Enterprise to reduce noise, improve signal quality, and control operational costs. The result is an observability platform built for scale, speed, and reliability across hybrid environments.

Is there anyone still using #HDFS? Not just with #syslog_ng, but at all. I'm curious, as the HDFS destination is the last #Java-based driver in syslog-ng.
Nobody responded to my related posts for years, so 4.11 will be the last release to have it.
