Do we need something like qlog.io ?

[unlogic]

Lately we have knew rather more about logstash and fluentd. When they are joined to elasticsearch and kibana both are very powerful. However I think we could have a most modern approach about how to resolve a very scalable and distributed log system. I mean that both have too legacy components, inefficients and are boring to install and are poorly prepared for CI/CD.

About qlog.io, we created a first version of qlog.io more than two years ago in the innotech repositories:
https://github.com/innotech/qlog-server
https://github.com/innotech/qlog-client-nodejs
https://github.com/innotech/qlog-client-java

I think, we can rescue some knowledge of these projects but we would need to start from scratch.

Another important point about logstash and fluentd is that these solutions are not highly recommended by security teams to be as a valid log for security data. So, it could be another interesting point to cover.

So... what do you think?

This modern high scalable and distributed queue log system, I understand that's a solution but I can not see the problem it's supposed to solve. Or it should be an open source project for other teams that may have logs problems?

The problem is not trivial because there are only a few solutions which are old and full of legacies: Logstash and Fluentd.

So, the question is whether it is worth to spend effort on this or we can move forward with Logstash and/or Fluentd.

What is also important is that we have the qlog.io domain :)
