All software, networking hardware, workstations, and servers generate logs or records of events, which are, by default, written to files on local disks. Critical data can be found in these logs. For instance, a web server's event log may include data such as a user's IP address, date, time, request type, and more. Logs give admins an audit trail to follow as they fix issues and identify problems' underlying causes. As a result of the variety of logs, their formats frequently change. Consider utilizing JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) as a common structured format throughout your IT ecosystem to reduce complexity.
Monitoring covers various processes, including planning, development, testing, deployment, and operations. It offers a comprehensive and real-time view of the status of the production environment with insights into applications, Infrastructure, and services. Collecting data from logs and metrics allows you to observe performance and compliance at each stage of the SDLC pipeline.
Log monitoring is the process of regularly checking logs for particular occurrences or patterns to spot potential faults or difficulties. DevOps and developers use log monitoring technologies to gather, analyze, and understand network performance information while continuously monitoring logs as they are being created.
Log monitoring is frequently used to maintain system stability, spot security gaps, and monitor system modifications or updates. It can be utilized in various contexts, including IT departments, web servers, and cloud-based applications.
Log monitoring is the collective term for collecting procedures involved in log management and analysis to assist IT teams in managing their Infrastructure and operations. Monitoring can be divided into various categories depending on the scope and methods employed. Distributed tracing may be necessary for contemporary cloud-native systems built using microservices to follow a request's progress.
Various monitoring methods can be established depending on the scope and methodologies used. To track a request's progress in contemporary cloud-native systems constructed using microservices, distributed tracing may be required. Log, event, and metric monitoring are still necessary for other causes. Here are some actual usage cases.
Although they are similar concepts, log monitoring and log analytics are separate from one another. They work as a team to maintain the health and efficiency of apps and essential services.
While some systems produce data continuously, others only do so when an exceptional occurrence occurs. Teams must constantly improve their systems to ensure that only valuable data is gathered from logs.
You may filter and retrieve helpful information and prevent information overload by logging levels (warn, fatal, error, etc.). You can monitor some important events and disregard others using logging levels.
Analyzing log files can be difficult because unstructured text data is typically contained in them. While modern tools can assist you in analyzing various varieties of structured and unstructured logs, doing so can be time-consuming and frequently error-prone.
When logs are presented in a standardized and recognizable format, log analyzers can process or parse them more easily. In light of this, you should transform your unstructured data into a structured log format, such as JSON. Logs can speed up search queries during troubleshooting if they are written in a standard format.
A log parser can organize and make this information more legible because every log contains numerous bits of information, allowing you to utilize search queries to extract valuable insights. You may now monitor particular event log fields thanks to this. You can find out who is accessing a server by keeping an eye on the "user" and "source IP" sections. Most log analyzers now support automated parsing for popular log formats.
As it makes it simple to segment and filter the logs, tagging logs is quite helpful when troubleshooting or debugging programs. The alphanumeric strings serve as distinctive identifiers and can limit search results, monitor specific user sessions, and more.
When studying logs in container systems, tags take on even greater significance. Tracking all the logs becomes more difficult because applications in Docker Swarm can have numerous containers. In these circumstances, you can alter your tags and give other container properties to make them more meaningful.
Any performance stumbling blocks or lingering problems in your live environment can impact application performance, user experience, compliance slip-ups, and even monetary and reputational damages.
Because of this, it's essential to monitor production environments in real-time. Teams frequently rely on real-time log viewers, which offer live tail functions like the Linux tail -f command. You may find problems as they arise and fix them before they become significant problems with live monitoring.
It's only sometimes possible to monitor everything continuously because IT teams sometimes share many duties. You should establish baselines for all your monitoring metrics and set up alerts for changes from these baselines to remain on top of your surroundings.
With notification services like Slack, Hip Chat, and Pager Duty, most contemporary logging technologies offer simple connections. Remember that threshold-based warnings may require regular reviews to maintain appropriate signal-to-noise ratios.
The teams in charge of constantly enhancing their automation pipelines should strive to make the most of logs as DevOps becomes increasingly popular. They can integrate logging with their source code management systems to maintain an audit trail of application performance and availability across many settings. They can monitor the success rates of their code integrations using logging integration, which also makes mistake detection and debugging easier.
Every DevOps specialist should be acquainted with the tool Prometheus. It is a time series data model-based open-source monitoring solution for services and warnings. A unique identifier— the metric name—and a time stamp are used by Prometheus to store the data and metrics that it gathers from various services. Prometheus can instantly query metrics from this storage system, making it possible to edit data sets for visualization easily. The dimensional data model of Prometheus is made possible through labels, another feature. Metrics can be used with labels to extract a particular dimension from a given measure. So, queries are more accurate and effective.
Prometheus employs exporters instead of other monitoring tools, which communicate with an agent installed on the host of the service being tracked and assessed. To utilize Prometheus, customers must either instrument their code to implement the metric types specified by Prometheus or, if this is not possible, have the monitored service push the metrics to the appropriate exporter. To create a Prometheus metric, the exporter aggregates the log entries and sends them to the Prometheus server.
The key traits of Prometheus are.
A multi-dimensional data paradigm where time series data are identifiable by metric names and key/value pairs
Grafana is an open-source observability platform for displaying metrics, logs, and traces gathered from your applications. It's a cloud-native tool for fast putting together data dashboards that help you look at and evaluate your stack. Grafana connects to various data sources such as Prometheus, Influx DB, Elastic Search, and traditional relational database engines. Complex dashboards are created using these sources to select relevant fields from your data. Dashboards can incorporate various visualization components such as graphs, heat maps, and histograms.
Grafana is an open-source tool for performing data analytics, retrieving metrics that assist in making sense of the enormous amount of data, and monitoring our apps with stylish, customized dashboards. To alert you to issues as they arise, Grafana has an integrated alerting solution. Several endpoints can receive notifications, including email, Slack, and webhooks. Grafana provides a centralized monitoring view by consuming the Prometheus, Loki, and Alert manager set Alert rules.
An open SaaS Software as a Service metrics platform that is cloud-native, highly accessible, quick, and ultimately managed is called Grafana Cloud. Quite useful for people who don't want to bother about managing the full deployment infrastructure and want to avoid shouldering the burden of hosting the solution on-prem.
Here is an image of a Grafana dashboard that is being used to monitor things.
The dashboards pull data from plugged-in data sources such as Graphite, Prometheus, Influx DB, Elastic Search, MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc. These are a few of the many data sources that Grafana supports by default.
The dashboards contain a gamut of visualization options such as geo maps, heat maps, and histograms, all the variety of charts & graphs which a business typically requires to study data. A dashboard contains several different individual panels on the grid. Each panel has different functionalities.
Engineering and operational processes that prioritize data can be facilitated using Grafana. You can still use it for straightforward dashboards and monitoring solutions, but displaying large amounts of data from several sources will be advantageous.
Your organization's goals and the viewpoints you employ should be particular. Before putting together a dashboard, it is wise to list the information you want to track and how it should be displayed. The opposite of helpful is true when false info is presented.
While developing your dashboards, you could encounter data "dark patches." These appear when a component of your stack isn't supplying metrics or when a Grafana data source cannot receive measurements. Grafana monitoring is worthwhile if the component is essential to your application. This can be achieved by adequately instrumenting the component. Consumers can feel unjustly secure if your dashboards only provide a partial picture.
A grouping of documents with a typical relationship is called an elasticsearch. Elasticsearch uses JSON documents to store data. Every document associates a set of keys (field or property names) with the appropriate values (strings, numbers, Booleans, dates, arrays of values, geolocations, or other data types).
To enable extremely quick full-text searches, Elasticsearch uses a data structure called an inverted index. A word's unique occurrences in each document are listed in an inverted index, along with the documents in which they are found.
During the indexing process, ElasticSearch stores documents and builds an inverted index to make the document data searchable in near real-time. Indexing is initiated with the index API, through which you can add or update a JSON document in a specific index.
To better understand how ElasticSearch works, let's cover some basic concepts of how it organizes data and its backend components.
