Stackdriver Logging and Monitoring Usage
Cloud Logging allows you to store, search, analyze, monitor, and alert on log data and events from Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services.
Stackdriver Logging provides detailed list of logs, current log volume and projected monthly volume. This makes it easy to see which logs have the highest volume. Google cloud stackdriver provides performance and diagnostics data to public cloud users.
Stackdriver logging makes it easy to centralize, search and monitor your log data from any environment.
What does Stackdriver provide?
Logging: Logging service is designed to collect and store logs from workloads deployed in both Google Cloud Platform and Amazon Web Services. The service can gather logs from Compute Engine, App Engine, EC2, and Google Cloud Audit Logs.
Monitoring: Monitoring service is for generate alert with standard and custom metrics and generate report in graphical form like chart. Monitoring can also be leveraged to troubleshoot issues. It tells us the performance of application and servers running on cloud. This can mean visualizing the data to view the health of various applications or environments. It is used to identify when application errors, issues, or thresholds occur. It discovers and monitors your cloud resources automatically, whether you are running on Google Cloud Platform or Amazon Web Services.
Error Reporting: This service aggregates, stores and displays errors in a central location. It can show time charts, occurrences, affected user counts, first and last seen dates, and cleaned exception stack traces. The service supports applications deployed in App Engine and Compute Engine.
Debugging: It is a feature of Google Cloud Platform that lets you inspect the state of an application, at any code location, without stopping or slowing down the running app. Stackdriver Debugger makes it easier to view the application state without adding logging statements.
Tracing: Trace is a distributed tracing system that collects latency data from your applications and displays it in the Google Cloud Platform Console.
Profiling: It provides continuous profiling of resource consumption in your production applications, helping you identify and eliminate potential performance issues.
For Stackdriver logging you need to create credentials of type Service Account Key and download a JSON file that contains the private key. You can manage your credentials at Google Console.
You can find all CloudKarafka integration options under the Integration tab in the control panel for your instances. Enter the Project ID and paste the Account Key JSON file to enable it.
When you’ve completed the steps above, you should be able to see your logs at Stackdriver Logging.
What is monitoring?
Monitoring is the process of taking the logs and metrics and providing visibility or actions using this data. This can mean visualizing the data to view the health of various applications or environments. It also includes providing proactive alerts to notify support personnel when application errors, issues, or thresholds occur.It discovers and monitors your cloud resources automatically, whether you are running on Google Cloud Platform or Amazon Web Services. It provides:
