Introduction In modern containerized environments, centralized logging is essential for monitoring, troubleshooting, and maintaining application reliability. Kubernetes workloads generate logs across multiple pods and nodes, which makes log management challenging if logs remain distributed. To solve this, organizations often use the ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana) for centralized logging… Continue Reading Kubernetes ELK Logging Setup (Filebeat → Logstash → Kibana)

Introduction Monitoring critical system activities is essential for maintaining security, troubleshooting incidents, and ensuring compliance. Linux provides a powerful auditing framework called auditd that records system calls, file changes, command executions, and authentication activities. In this guide, we will walk through the steps to install auditd, configure auditing rules, and… Continue Reading Implementing Auditd for System Activity Monitoring in Linux Servers

Introduction As container images are built and pushed frequently, repositories can quickly accumulate multiple versions of artifacts. Over time, this leads to increased storage usage and unnecessary clutter. To manage this effectively, implementing a retention policy is essential. In Harbor, retention policies allow you to automatically remove older artifacts while… Continue Reading How to Configure a Retention Policy in Harbor
