Chapter 7. Logging and Monitoring Microservices

One of the biggest challenges due to the very distributed nature of Internet-scale microservices deployment is the logging and monitoring of individual microservices. It is difficult to trace end-to-end transactions by correlating logs emitted by different microservices. As with monolithic applications, there is no single pane of glass to monitor microservices.

This chapter will cover the necessity and importance of logging and monitoring in microservice deployments. This chapter will further examine the challenges and solutions to address logging and monitoring with a number of potential architectures and technologies.

By the end of this chapter, you will learn about:

• The different options, tools, and technologies for log management
• The use of Spring Cloud Sleuth in tracing microservices
• The different tools for end-to-end monitoring of microservices
• The use of Spring Cloud Hystrix and Turbine for circuit monitoring
• The use of data lakes...
