Logging Infrastructure refers to the systems used to collect, process, store, and visualize logs from applications and services.

Logs are essential for debugging, auditing, performance analysis, and incident response. A good logging setup supports structured logs, filtering, correlation, and searchability.

Common logging stacks include ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana), Loki with Grafana, and Fluentd with Cloud Logging. Cloud-native platforms often integrate logging directly into infrastructure, simplifying observability for Kubernetes and microservices environments.

Well-managed logging is the backbone of visibility — helping teams understand behavior across distributed systems in real time.
