In the cloud world, we need to carry out monitoring to observe the progress and quality of our services and applications over a period of time. Monitoring allows us to keep our applications under systematic review. If something breaks, we want to know what it is and what caused it to malfunction. Monitoring helps us to investigate the failure points in our services. We can make sure that we detect these services early on using anomaly detection. White-box monitoring can help us work out which services are failing and why, and also how to debug them. It can also provide future trends, which means it can detect potential future failures. Here, we will be focusing only on tools that enable us to monitor either our application or our infrastructure:
- Monitoring the application: It is very important that the features or services that are being developed are monitored. There should be a proper time-series graph and a dashboard.
- Monitoring the...
