kang, I was told you might be a good person to talk to about centralized logging. Any suggestions on how to proceed here? Thanks! Dan

Adding Jeff who's our specialist! ;)

Otherwise we have a few solutions available - including syslog, Heka or direct to MozDef.

IT has a few centralized syslog servers and a TLS syslog entry point for logs coming from the cloud (such as coming from AWS).

Note: according to https://mana.mozilla.org/wiki/display/IT/Autoland:
This service is being decommissioned in favor of reviewboard.  Please see bug 1002733.

I suspect the old autoland is being modified or something like that. Needinfo'ing dustin has he's the last editor of the mana page.

This bug doesn't relate to the "old autoland", but to the "new autoland"!  See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Auto-tools/Projects/Autoland.

We will update https://mana.mozilla.org/wiki/display/IT/Autoland once the new autoland is in production; currently it only has a dev environment.

The new autoland has nothing to do implementation-wise with its predecessor.

Based on the RRA the focus for centralized logging should be the ldap scm_level group membership check.

Followed up with Jeff in irc.

The initial logging to mozdef is now working. There may be some changes to the json schema we're using in the future, but I think we can handle that in follow up bugs.
