Hi Jacek,

On last Friday, I've talk with CC-IN2P3 monitoring expert, here's a summary:

- Standard de facto is ELK (ElasticSearch, Logstash, Kibana), which is a 
splunk-like open-source software. But in2p3 sysadmin recommends to use 
syslog-ng instead of LogStash, because it is ten times faster and it can 
support high load.

- Good practive is to produce structured log (i.e. JSON format for 
example). This allows not to write/maintain fragile and complex log 
parsing ruels (which may break each time a developer change a log 
message). JSON key are not normalized yet, but splunk format can be 
used: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/CIM/latest/User/Overview

Task to do:

- add a JSON appender to Qserv(/xrootd?) logger
- install/configure a virtual machine ccqserv-mon with ElasticSearch and 
Kibana,
- install/configure syslog-ng on all cc-in2p3 Qserv cluster

Shall we create new tickets in epic DM-1823 (Design and implement 
monitoring tool for Qserv)?

Cheers,

Fabrice
