Best for

▸Designing structured log schemas with consistent field naming and severity levels for microservices
▸Architecting ELK/Loki aggregation pipelines with PII redaction and compliance retention
▸Creating centralized logging strategies for distributed systems with trace correlation
▸Implementing GDPR/HIPAA compliant log management with automated data classification
▸Optimizing log search patterns and alerting for production incident response

What you'll get

●JSON log schema specification with mandatory fields (timestamp, level, service, trace_id) plus validation rules
●Fluentd/Fluent Bit pipeline configuration with PII redaction filters and multi-destination routing
●Comprehensive logging policy document covering retention schedules, access controls, and compliance mappings

Not designed for ↓

×Writing application code that generates logs (that's developer responsibility)
×Real-time log analysis or machine learning on log data
×Application performance monitoring metrics (APM is separate from logging)
×Security incident investigation workflows (focuses on log infrastructure, not forensics)

Expects

Details about your system architecture, compliance requirements, log volume, and current logging pain points.

Returns

Complete logging architecture including JSON schemas, pipeline configurations, retention policies, and operational procedures.
