Abstract: Container technology provides a rapid way of running applications and hence draws it attention to recent times. Container applications are smaller in size and much flexible in management compared to traditional virtual machines. Since containers are non-persistence, the complexity of application logs also increases with number of deployments. Even with wide range of log management tools available, it requires a combination of few for providing a complete logging solution. Thus, it requires a framework which could orchestrate and identify the status of each integrated tools for providing smooth functioning across the entire log system. In this paper, we discussed about the implementation of our orchestration framework, configuration details for communication across log systems and case study.

Keywords: log management; container; orchestration.
