Implementation of a modern logging pipeline for Hadoop

About

**Project Description**: The Hadoop infrastructure at CERN consists of many services (like HDFS, YARN, Spark, ZooKeeper) that all collect logging data in their own files. These services are used to store large amounts of data (from experiments and other sources) and process it efficiently. Before, the logs were located on each server individually, this made looking for (the source of) errors difficult. The goal of the project was to centralise the collection of logging data across all services using Fluent Bit (deployed through Puppet and routing through CERN MONIT infrastructure). We use OpenSearch as a storage backend and visualise the data in Grafana dashboards. It will help Hadoop system administrators investigate incidents faster and detect problematic service behaviour before it becomes a problem.
