Say goodbye to messy, unreadable logs! In this video, learn how to transform unstructured NGINX logs into clean, structured JSON logs using Vector. We’ll walk you through setting up Vector with Docker, using Vector Remap Language (VRL) to parse logs, and filtering out unnecessary fields for better readability and analysis.
By the end, you'll know how to create logs that are easy to search, filter, and integrate into dashboards or alert systems. Got questions? Leave them in the comments, and don’t forget to like, subscribe, and check out our newsletter, Hacking Scale!
