Logging and Monitoring in Cloud Foundry

Logging and monitoring components are crucial for flawless operation of any complex real-world system, Cloud Foundry in particular.

At the training, the attendees will learn how to effectively organize activities around distributed system monitoring and collection of logs from infrastructure components, Cloud Foundry components and applications.

Day 1

Topic	Description
Setting up	Connecting to lab environment Checking app code from Github Pushing app code to Cloud Foundry
Main concepts of logging	Why we need logs How we can get it centralized Logging at different levels of deployment stack
Logs in CF	How to get logs from: applications system components 3rd party services
Kibana	Setting up index patterns Logs discovery Visualisation Dashboards
Parsing rules	How logstash does parsing Embedded parsing rules Rules customization
Tips and tricks	Some tips from our practice Q & A
Main concepts of monitoring	Why monitoring is important Why we need metrics Collecting, storing, visualizing, analyzing
Levels of CF stack	High level overview of levels: Applications Cloud Foundry 3rd party services BOSH IaaS
Possible ways of monitoring components described above	For each component we will see how it works and how we can monitor it (agents, firehose nozzles, buildpacks, etc)
Setup infrastructure for monitoring	Setup Linux server Install time series database Install visualization software Install collecting agent Install firehose nozzle Configure BOSH to forward its metrics Push simple application into CF
Create dashboards	Explore available metrics Visualize some simple but useful metrics
What else you can achieve with metrics	Useful metrics inside CF and their applications (like capacity planning, troubleshooting, finding performance issues)
Seamless integration into CF	How to deploy monitoring solution with BOSH How to deploy agents with BOSH How to use custom buildpacks

The Logging and Monitoring in Cloud Foundry training was developed for Cloud Foundry operators and devops engineers.
