Should You Be Scared of Unix Signals?
> Libc is a lot more tricky about signals, since not all libc functions can be safely called from handlers.
And this is a huge thing. People do all kinds of operations in signal handlers completely oblivious to the pitfalls. Pitfalls which often do not manifest, making it a great "it works for me" territory.
I once raised a ticket on fluentbit[1] about it but they have abused signal handlers so thoroughly that I do not think they can mitigate the issue without a major rewriting of the signal and crash handling.

Ultimate EKS Baseline Cluster: Part 1 - Provision EKS
From here, we can explore other developments and tutorials on Kubernetes, such as o11y or observability (PLG, ELK, ELF, TICK, Jaeger, Pyroscope), service mesh (Linkerd, Istio, NSM, Consul Connect, Cillium), and progressive delivery (ArgoCD, FluxCD, Spinnaker).

Tool to scrape (semi)-structured log files (e.g. log4j)
There are also log forwarding tools like promtail and fluentbit that can be used to both ship logs to something like Loki and produce metrics.

Fluent-Bit for Splunk
Syslog-ng can feed splunk directly via HEC without having to use heavy forwarders. Earlier you had to hand configure it via the http () destination, v4.2 added this via a separate destination driver. https://github.com/syslog-ng/syslog-ng/releases/tag/syslog-ng-4.2.0

Let's talk logs
Syslog-ng seems a bit weird about open/close source. They have a github but it seems like all the documentation is seemingly all over the place & it's not obvious to find what the limitations of open source version are.

I Don't Think Elasticsearch Is a Good Logging System
What we do internally is use [syslog-ng](https://github.com/syslog-ng/syslog-ng) to read the journald socket and push to a remote and into Kafka. I think journald works well as a structured logging tool, but it's certainly deficient in other ways

Log management solution
We're using syslog-ng in my apprenticeship, it works just fine, interfacing with a in-prem Prometheus/Elasticsearch
