ECS logging
editECS logging
editElastic Common Schema (ECS) loggers format your logs into ECS-compatible JSON, removing the need to manually parse logs.
Requirements
- (Optional) Elastic APM agent for your programming language (for log correlation)
- The Elastic ECS logger for your language or framework
- Filebeat configured to monitor and capture application logs
Pros
- Popular logging frameworks supported
- Simplicity: no manual parsing with Filebeat, and a configuration can be reused across applications
- Decently human-readable JSON structure
- APM log correlation
- Resilient in case of outages
Cons
- Not all frameworks are supported
- Requires modification of the application and its log configuration
