Log forwarding, a powerful functionality already available for Managed Databases and App Platform in DigitalOcean, is now available for DigitalOcean Kubernetes. This feature allows customers to transmit log data from various databases and applications to the log management provider of their choice, including OpenSearch. With log forwarding, customers can experience centralized log management, improved monitoring and simplified troubleshooting, improved alerting, and optimized resource usage. By forwarding logs to a log management provider, customers can proactively respond to potential problems or threats before they impact production environments, helping to ensure better reliability. Log forwarding offers valuable benefits to improve development and operational productivity, regardless of the type of application built with DOKS, from small-scale microservices to AI-powered applications.
