Sitecore: logging via RabbitMQ

In previous post I've described why I've started to look into RabbitMQ integration. Here you could find its implementation.

Sitecore + RabbitMQ implementation

In order to send log data from Sitecore we need to extend its Logger. Sitecore uses logging system based on log4net (it is their own implementation and based not on the latest log4net sources) so we could try to use existing open source module from NuGet at least as a reference.

I took the module, replace log4net reference to Sitecore.Logging dll and made all needed changes. All this code you could find on GitHub in pre-beta version.

Sitecore: Logging with EKL (ElasticSearch+Logstash+Kibana)

Why not to use standard files?

Usually when you are working with Sitecore you will have standard file based logs. For development this is more that enough but when it comes to other environments it could be very nice to have all logs sentralized. Moreover need to be sure that logs are not lost in cases when something went wrong and it is easy to find information in it.
So my goal is to create solution base on EKL (ElasticSearch+Logstash+Kibana) which will get log data from Sitecore and provide possibilities to search and work with them. ()
