[This week’s post comes from Jon Sorenson - Manager, Security SRE - whose username (jsorenso) is properly pronounced “j-so-and-so”. It doesn’t contain any actual inGraphs, but the visualizations he came up with in Kibana were too good to pass up. Thanks for the lovely bits of art, Jon!]
I was recently looking into making some summary dashboards in Kibana around spammy loggers. I was looking for a breakdown of log level (INFO, WARN, ERROR) per service (Login-server, UCV, etc), so I created this:
This showed me I had 2 dominators but left everything else hard to see given the scale.
I realized Kibana had the option to make the graph percentage based. Switching to it created a work of art:
Now I can easily see not just the top two, but a breakdown of who’s spammy logging. Check out the full dashboard here: https://log-viewer.prod.linkedin. com/prod-ltx1/psec/k4/app/kibana#/dashboard/Logging-Clean-up-All-Services
