Cloud logs overview

Cloud logs

What you learned in Module 2:

  • Cloud metrics cover compute, containers, databases, storage, and networking.
  • Collection methods include scrape jobs, metric streams, and Alloy approaches.
  • Each cloud provider has different implementation patterns.
  • Method selection depends on scale, cost, and operational preferences.

What you’ll do in this module:

You’ll explore cloud log collection:

  • Types of logs — Application, platform, audit, network, and service logs
  • Collection methods — Lambda/Functions, Firehose, Alloy, and Pub/Sub approaches
  • Provider-specific details — AWS, Azure, and GCP implementations
  • Comparison and selection — Choosing the right method for your environment

Estimated time: 15-20 minutes
