Sumologic

sumologic is a cloud platform designed to provide state of the art logging solutions to customers, it has an interactive dashboard to visualize and analyse the logs generated by various components of your solution.

sumologic provides us many integrations for log ingestion, you can install a sumologic installed collector server and point this to the application on your machine to pull the logs, this is called self-installed sumologic server or along these lines, the other is a hosted collector where sumologic has many integration with the most popular applications and collects logs from their platforms.

In this example we are using the sumologic logback integration from the maven repo

<dependency>
<groupId>com.sumologic.plugins.logback</groupId>
<artifactId>sumologic-logback-appender</artifactId>
<version>1.7</version>
</dependency>

using this and the above config file, all the logs generated will be saved in a file as well as streamed to sumologic.
