Replicating and Restoring LogDNA Account Configurations

As an engineer who has set up logging for more than one deployment or environment, you know that you usually have one logging account per deployment.

“I love daily stand-ups almost as much as I love Agile” is something usually said sarcastically, with an eye roll. But for all the resistance that standups receive (at least among engineers), they do their job surprisingly well.
