Welcome to part 2 of our blog series, where we go through how to forward container logs from Amazon ECS and Fargate to Splunk. In part 1, "Splunking AWS ECS Part 1: Setting Up AWS And Splunk," we focused on understanding what ECS and Fargate are, along with how to get AWS and Splunk ready for log routing to Splunk’s Data-to-Everything platform.
OpenTelemetry 1.0 (Otel) is finally here (in fact, 1.0.1). The announcement brings the industry closer to a standard for observability. OpenTelemetry v1.0.1 will focus solely on tracing for now, but work continues on integrations for metrics and logs. We are still a long way off from this vision becoming reality.

The HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller publishes two sets of logs: the ingress controller logs and the HAProxy access logs.
