Log monitoring can be a tedious process. When you have logs, you generate numerous log files in the log database that you need to track. Though a log file parser can help you search through multiple or large logs easily, it’s typically one of those processes which we only look at once it stops working. The windows system logs contain operating system logs as well as logs from applications such as Internet Information Services (IIS) and SQL server.
Serverless architectures remove the need to provision and maintain infrastructure components like servers and containers, so developers can focus on writing and deploying code. However, serverless architectures also introduce new challenges to monitoring and observability. Teams building serverless applications can iterate quickly and deploy frequent code and configuration changes, making it difficult to track what impact these changes have on your applications.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a comprehensive cloud computing platform, providing an array of services to manage a business’s data infrastructure to help it grow and expand. With the wide range of services provided, it has multiple options to provide you with an elastic approach to optimize your costs. However, many users struggle with controlling their expenditure due to a variety of factors. Getting a complete understanding of how to reduce your AWS operational costs may be a daunting task.
Logz.io has deepened its partnership with Hashicorp over the last few months. Recently, we announced our integration with their service mesh, Hashicorp Consul. Simultaneously, we have worked on and completed an integration with their infrastructure orchestrator (a.k.a, infrastructure-as-code or IAC), Terraform. IACs take manual configurations and treats them as, well, code (along with procedures, build guides, run books, etc.).
Infrastructure monitoring is often equated to infrastructure management, which can blur the line between two very distinct jobs. While they are different, it’s safe to say that both infrastructure monitoring and management have the same end goals, i.e., to maintain the integrity of the network, secure the server, and optimize performance. Infrastructure management (IM) has many use cases, and one of those uses cases is infrastructure monitoring.
