Hey, all. Here is a short follow up of todays hangout meeting.

*Log aggregation:*
1. Getting logs of CF components with ELK bundle [1]. It works, but there
is still room for improvements:

   - there was an issue with setting logstash-agent to read from custom
   file. We should investigate why it could happen and email to cf-charmers
   list about it.
   - we should consider if it is possible to add relations between CF
   components and ELK
   - also we are going to investigate how to add syslog_aggregator to CF
   charm

2. Getting logs of CF applications with ELK bundle [2]. It works and is ok
for now.

*Example applications*
As Ben noted expectation for this task is an example of cookbook describing
piece of CF knowledge , not only the list of commands. So here are the apps:

   - *Ruby apps:* Manuel get Dashing app as an example
   - *Java apps:* Jenkins is not so easy to deploy to CF, we've managed to
   it for Pivotal version of CF [3], but now Alex L is working on special
   jenkins-buildpack.
   - *Node.js apps:* Sergey Matykevich made a README with description of
   how to deploy an app that uses famous framework [4], also we managed how to
   deploy node-red app [5] and will make a simple description for it soon.


*Also*
We've just deployed CF v192 and will try "firehose logs" feature soon.
