I believe you can skip logstash now and have filebeat go directly to your elastic search indexer.

This simplified the ELK stack setup a whole bunch.

This.

We've got a couple of these kinds of applications where I work. All built on RabbitMq / MassTransit. Without smart logging it would be real frustrating to track down issues. You could put breakpoints everywhere locally, but that's a pain.

Tools like Seq are really helpful during development. ELK stack / splunk / log aggregator X are almost required on the non-local environments.

Hey neighbor, just relocated from Houston to Greenville. There wasn't as much disparity between cost of living the west coasters have, but not living in a giant parking has been great for myself and my family.

No regrets. Thanks for sharing your space.

I saw these guys at Velocity in NY this year. Pretty impressive product. I felt like the query language they built was easier to work with than setting up queries and filters in elasticsearch's api.

Really interesting to hear about the innards.

Thanks for the post.

This is awesome.

Agreed, this was a very good demonstration.

As someone looking to move to the Greenville area I was interested in this, as a programmer / technology enthusiast I'm confused as to why it's here...

C# / Asp.net pays my bills, but I've been playing with node.js lately. Just to kind of see what the hubbub was.

I took Ryan Dahl's chat room demo and added a database for validating users & message logging. I've added a couple commands that allow users to change their nicknames on the fly and some other feeble functionality.

I think eventually i'd like for users to be able to run javascript across all sessions, which could be a complete mess or kind of cool.

The snarky answer is textmate / submlime 2 / vim.

I'm no rails guru, but I have but together quite a few professional CMS's and use it almost exclusively for homebrew projects, and I've never felt like I needed a heavyweight IDE.
