Enhancing Microservices Observability with Log Monitoring

Distributed nature

Microservices are distributed across various containers, servers, and cloud services. This distributed nature makes it challenging to trace transactions and diagnose issues.

Scaling complexity

Microservices can scale independently, leading to dynamic changes in the system's behaviour. Tracking and managing this scalability is crucial for optimal performance.

Complex dependencies

Microservices often have intricate dependencies on other services and external APIs. Understanding how these dependencies impact overall system performance and reliability is essential.

Security and compliance

Ensuring the security and compliance of our microservices-based applications is a priority. We need to monitor and respond to security incidents effectively.

Data overload

IT ecosystem generates a vast volume of log data from diverse sources, such as applications, containers, servers, and network devices. Managing, analysing, and extracting valuable insights from this data manually is impractical and error-prone.

Latency and downtime

• Unpredictable system issues and downtime incidents persist due to a lack of real-time visibility into the health and performance of our IT components. These issues have a direct impact on service availability and user experience.
• Security Gaps: Our current security measures struggle to provide comprehensive threat detection and rapid incident response. We need to strengthen our security posture to mitigate risks associated with evolving cyber threats.
