Centralized Logging with Fluentd and ELK

Kubernetes logs are ephemeral by default. For production, use centralized logging solutions like:

• EFK: Elasticsearch + Fluentd + Kibana
• Fluent Bit: Lightweight alternative to Fluentd
• Loki: Grafana’s logging tool

How It Works:

1. Fluentd collects logs from all nodes.
2. Logs are filtered and formatted.
3. They’re pushed to Elasticsearch (or Loki).
4. Visualize via Kibana or Grafana.

Pod Logging Command:

kubectl logs my-pod-name
