Monitoring and Observability Setup

Labsetup

• We will be using two elastic cloud accounts
  • one account for dev/experimentation
  • other account for making nopCommerce observable
• We need a mail trap setup for alerts where we will have two inboxes.

Workflow

• Overview
  
• We will have a system with heartbeat installed which checks if the application/server is up or not and reports the status to elastic cloud (elastic search)
• The uptime in observability section of elastic cloud will show the status of each service/server from which you can configure alerts based on connectors
