Abstract: 

This talk presents System Log Analysis using an OLA P-based and in-the-cloud system, BigQuery, which is heavily optimized for reads. BigQuery is a Dremel-based SaaS that, when combined with a system logger such as syslog-ng, a tool to convert log entries to CSV, and an uploader, which will be discussed in detail in this talk, allows any DevOp to scale her log analysis needs in an elastic manner.
