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.
Working with Elastic Stack
- Understanding of YAML Refer Here
Elastic Cloud Account Setup
- Create a free trail account Refer Here
- Lets setup connectors for communications (email/teams/slack)
- For email create account in mailtrap and use the credentials of mail trap over here
- Enter the details of mail trap in email and run the test (refer classroom video)
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
