10. 10 Kratos Visual Logging Ø Visual Logging is an extension & backward compatible to existing logging frameworks like log4j, log4net, pylog Ø Provides default meta-data out-of-the-box
11. 11 Use case #1: Dev-to-Search
12. 12 Use case #2: Zero-Engineering Visualizations/Charts
13. 13 Use case #3: Zero-Engineering Dashboards Ø Devs can log in a particular format and we can build some automated dashboards for yield, duration, error codes etc.
14. 14 Use case #4: Zero-Engineering BI Ø Kratos Visual logging offers JDBC support. So BI tools like Tableau, AWS Quick Sight can be used to query data directly Ø Engineers & Analysts can write sql queries to make data decisions from the log data directly
