Designed and developed a large-scale(millions of log files) Analytics and Monitoring application from scratch for logs of tests for all core services in the Nutanix cluster using technologies such as Python, Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Filebeat.
The usage of the application made triaging of bugs easier and saved a lot of time for engineers as the application automatically fetched logs from multiple remote servers and extracted relevant information.
