In my previous blog post, I demonstrated how to use Prometheus and Fluentd with the Elastic Stack to monitor Kubernetes. That’s a good option if you’re already using those open source-based monitoring tools in your organization. But, if you’re new to Kubernetes monitoring, or want to take full advantage of Elastic Observability, there is an easier and more comprehensive way. In this blog, we will explore how to monitor Kubernetes the Elastic way: using Filebeat and Metricbeat.

Apache Cassandra is an open-source distributed NoSQL database management system that was released by Facebook almost 12 years ago. It’s designed to handle vast amounts of data, with high availability and no single point of failure. It is a wide-column store, meaning that it organizes related facts into columns. Columns are grouped into “column families.” The benefit is that you can manage data that just won’t fit on one computer.

As part of your monitoring and testing strategy, you may run tests on different types of applications that are not publicly available—from local versions of production-level websites to internal applications that directly support your employees. Testing each one requires leveraging tools that allow you to verify functionality across a wide range of devices, browsers, and workflows while maintaining a secure environment.
