Dislog: Distributed Logging System

---

Dislog is a distributed logging system implemented in Go. It is designed to be scalable, fault-tolerant, and easy to use. It allows you to collect and store logs from multiple sources in real-time. Dislog is an open-source project and welcomes contributions from the community.

Visit our Dislog Wiki to learn about how Dislog is implemented.

Running Dislog on Kubernetes

This is a guide on how to run Dislog implemented in Kubernetes locally using Kind. The system consists of several components managed by Helm that are deployed as Kubernetes resources using Helm charts.

Prerequisites:

Before proceeding with the deployment, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

• Docker installed on your local machine
• A running Kubernetes cluster on Kind
• kubectl command-line tool
• Helm installed on your local machine

Installation

1. Clone or download the repository

   git clone https://github.com/pouriaamini/dislog
   

2. Create a Kind cluster on your local machine

   kind create cluster
   

3. Build the Docker image for dislog and load it into your Kind cluster

   make build-docker
   kind load docker-image github.com/pouriaamini/dislog:0.0.1
   

4. Install the Helm Chart for the system

   helm install dislog deploy/dislog
   

5. The current setup fires up three pods. You can list them by running kubectl get pods. When all three pods are ready, we can try requesting the API

   kubectl port-forward pod/dislog-0 8400 8400
   

Verify the Setup

Run the command to request our service to get and print the list of servers

go run cmd/getservers/main.go

You should get the following output

servers:
- id:"dislog-0" rpc_addr:"dislog-0.dislog.default.svc.cluster.local:8400"
- id:"dislog-1" rpc_addr:"dislog-1.dislog.default.svc.cluster.local:8400"
- id:"dislog-2" rpc_addr:"dislog-2.dislog.default.svc.cluster.local:8400"

See our documentation on GitHub Wiki to run Dislog on the cloud.
