Today we got the official notification that our book has been published …

As you can see, the eBook is now available. The print edition can be purchased from Thursday (24th Oct). If you’ve been a MEAP subscriber, you should be able to download the complete book. The book will start showing up on other platforms in the coming weeks (Amazon UK has set an availability date, and Amazon.com you can preorder).

There are some lovely review quotes as well:

A detailed dive into building observability and monitoring.

Jamie Riedesel, author of Software Telemetry

Extensive real-life examples and comprehensive coverage! It’s a great resource for architects, developers, and SREs.

Sambasiva Andaluri, IBM

A must read for anyone managing a critical IT-system. You will truly understand what’s going on in your applications and infrastructure.

Hassan Ajan, Gain Momentum

And there is more …

I hadn’t noticed until today, but the partner book Logging in Action, which covers Fluentd, is available in ebook and print as well as audio and video editions. As you can see, these are available on Manning and platforms like O’Reilly/Safari…

In Logging in Action you will learn how to:

Deploy Fluentd and Fluent Bit into traditional on-premises, IoT, hybrid, cloud, and multi-cloud environments, both small and hyperscaled
Configure Fluentd and Fluent Bit to solve common log management problems
Use Fluentd within Kubernetes and Docker services
Connect a custom log source or destination with Fluentd’s extensible plugin framework
Logging best practices and common pitfalls

Logging in Action is a guide to optimize and organize logging using the CNCF Fluentd and Fluent Bit projects. You’ll use the powerful log management tool Fluentd to solve common log management, and learn how proper log management can improve performance and make management of software and infrastructure solutions easier. Through useful examples like sending log-driven events to Slack, you’ll get hands-on experience applying structure to your unstructured data.

I have to say that my digital twin, who narrated the book, sounds pretty intelligent.

Update

Amazon UK is correct now, and has an availability date
