Definition

Collecting and storing log data from multiple applications and systems in one central location for easier searching, monitoring, and analysis.

Real-World Example

Centralized Logging gathers error messages from all your microservices into one dashboard, making it easy to trace problems across your entire system.

Cloud Provider Equivalencies

All four services ingest logs from many sources into a managed, searchable store with filtering, retention controls, alerting/metrics integration, and export options. AWS commonly pairs CloudWatch Logs with CloudWatch Logs Insights; Azure uses KQL in Log Analytics; GCP uses Logs Explorer and Log-based metrics; OCI uses Logging with service connectors for routing to storage/streaming.
