Scribe is a distributed log collection server developed by Facebook. It receives logs generated on many servers over the Thrift protocol and gathers them into central storage, and it was used for log aggregation in large-scale services. Development has since stopped, and tools such as Fluentd, Apache Flume, and the ELK stack fill the same role.
