In previous post I’ve described why I’ve started to look into RabbitMQ integration. Here you could find its implementation. Implementation: Sitecore + RabbitMQ To send log data from Sitecore we need to extend its Logger. Sitecore uses a logging system based on log4net (it is their implementation and based not on the latest log4net sources) so we could try to use existing open-source module from NuGet at least as a reference....
Why not to use standard files? Usually, when you are working with Sitecore you will have standard file-based logs. For development, this is more than enough but when it comes to other environments it could be very nice to have all logs centralized. Moreover need to be sure that logs are not lost in cases when something went wrong and it is easy to find information in it. So my goal is to create a solution base on EKL (ElasticSearch+Logstash+Kibana) which will get log data from Sitecore and provide possibilities to search and work with them....
