For my understanding: When I don't see the data part of log messages like (log/error "Foo" {:bar "baz"} parsed in elasticsearch but only as a string. Does it mean that the setup is wrong? Should I work on the parsing-config in e.g. logstash? Or is this the way it is?

I never used logstash, but I worked with fluentd and yes - you have to setup a parser on logstash side, and/or emit JSON from your application logs as well

ok, actually it seems to me that we are using fluentd as well at my new job...will look into that. Thanks!

I'm sorry to hear that, it's not my fav piece of software :-(

we're prepping a POC with http://vector.dev

as we had way too many issues with fluentd

good to know...I would love to use ulog for application-logs anyway so that there is no need to go through fluentd or something similar anymore

It's still a good practice to have a collector (or forwarder sidecar) so that your app doesn't depend directly on your log storage - we run into a lot of issues when using logback and google cloud logging few years ago, so it was better to front it with something else

makes sense
