Description

Diamond Light Source had a single, monolithic, ancient version of Graylog running on even more ancient hardware. We present the migration of this service to Graylog-as-a-Service: an instance per user conmmunity running on Kubernetes. Benefits include:

  • User communities can manage their own instances of Graylog
  • User communities can no longer deny service to each other by flooding Graylog.
  • Some redundancy comes "for free" by using our Kubernetes infrastructure.
  • We can use our Elasticsearch backend for log storage
