3 Steps to Set Up Centralized Logging for Media Servers — Fast & Secure

entralized logging for media servers is the difference between finding a streaming issue in 2 minutes and spending 2 hours SSH-ing into servers one by one. When your Ant Media Server deployment spans multiple instances or a Kubernetes cluster, logs are scattered everywhere — and problems hide in the gaps between them.

Ant Media’s centralized logging infrastructure collects logs from your environment, forwards them securely to a multi-tenant logging platform, and makes them instantly searchable. The Ant Media team can then troubleshoot issues proactively — often before you even notice something is wrong.

This guide covers both deployment types: standalone instances (VM, bare metal, cloud VM) using a shell script, and Kubernetes clusters using Fluent Bit via Helm. The setup can be completed either by you or by the Ant Media team.
