Writing log messages to the logging server

In the modern cloud environment, there are multiple instances of the same application running on different servers. Due to the distributed nature of the cloud environment, it will be hard to keep track of the different logs produced by the different application instances. This will require using a centralized logging system that will be able to capture all the different log messages from the different applications and systems.
