Monitoring and metrics

Monitoring and collecting metrics play a very important role in keeping the system healthy and up and running. Consul can be monitored using the consul monitor command. Let's take a look:

1. Run the consul monitor command:

$ consul monitor
2019/08/27 02:24:12 [INFO] agent: Synced service "counting-counting-sidecar-proxy"
2019/08/27 02:24:12 [INFO] agent: Synced service "dashboard-dashboard-sidecar-proxy"
2019/08/27 02:25:24 [INFO] agent: Synced service "counting-counting-sidecar-proxy"
