A company maintains several microservices on different systems. Each service writes logs locally, making it difficult to investigate recurring issues across them all. Which action helps simplify tracking these events in one searchable location?
Run daily batch tasks that copy event data to a shared location
Keep each service’s records in local folders for on-demand viewing
Rely on a network switch that directs all outputs to various endpoints
Send log entries to a centralized platform using an agent on every system
Forwarding records to a unified service packages logs from multiple sources so they can be located and queried in one place. This increases efficiency and clarity, especially when trying to detect recurring issues. Simply storing files on each platform or relying on traffic distribution does not systematically gather data. Scripts that push logs once a day delay event visibility and can create gaps for real-time analysis.
