No matter what your Kubernetes environment looks like, logging and monitoring are among the first major challenges you’ll need to address as you begin your Kubernetes journey. Indeed, Kubernetes logging and monitoring require working with multiple sources of data and multiple tools, because Kubernetes generates logs in multiple ways.

For example, as we’ll see below, IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service (IKS) integrates with IBM Log Analysis with LogDNA to collect Kubernetes log data, and enable real-time analysis and log management using LogDNA.

To a greater extent than is the case for other types of Kubernetes log data, the way you view and manage audit logs varies significantly depending on which Kubernetes distribution you use and which log collector you want to use to collect these logs.

This post is part of a larger series that explores the difference between logging for Kubernetes and logging for Red Hat OpenShift.
