Introduction
Microservices are becoming increasingly prevalent, and robust monitoring and logging are crucial for their success. This tutorial will guide you through essential techniques for tracking and analyzing these services.
This icon represents a simplified representation of a microservice architecture.
Key Concepts
- Logs: Record information about a service's operation.
- Metrics: Numerical data representing the service's performance.
- Tracing: Tracking a request across multiple microservices.
- Centralized Logging: Collecting logs from all services into a single repository.
Monitoring Tools
Popular tools include: Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana).
Example: Logging a Simple Request
Let's simulate a request to a microservice.
Request URL: /msdn/documentation/net/tutorials/microservices/monitoring-and-logging?request=123&time=1678886400
This request is being logged by the system.
