Logging tools are software applications or systems used to collect, store, and analyze log data generated by various applications and systems. These tools help monitor performance, troubleshoot issues, and ensure security by providing insights into system behavior and user activities. Common logging tools include Logstash, Splunk, and ELK Stack. These tools typically allow users to filter, search, and visualize log data, making it easier to identify patterns or anomalies. By centralizing log information, logging tools enhance the ability to respond to incidents and improve overall system reliability and performance.
