bootkube VS Grafana

Bootkube - bootkube - Launch a self-hosted Kubernetes cluster kubectx + kubens - Switch faster between clusters and namespaces in kubectl kube-shell - Kubernetes shell: An integrated shell for working with the Kubernetes kuttle: kubectl wrapper for sshuttle without SSH - Kubernetes wrapper for sshuttle kubectl sudo - Run kubernetes commands with the security privileges of another user K9s - Kubernetes CLI To Manage Your Clusters In Style! Ktunnel - A cli that exposes your local resources to kubernetes KubeOperator - Run kubectl command in Web Browser. https://kubeoperator.io/ Vimkubectl - Manage any Kubernetes resource from Vim https://www.vim.org/scripts/script.ph KubeHelper - KubeHelper - simplifies many daily Kubernetes cluster tasks through a web interface.

Monitoring application logs is a crucial aspect of the software development and deployment lifecycle. In this post, we'll delve into the process of observing logs generated by Docker container applications operating within HashiCorp Nomad. With the aid of Grafana, Vector, and Loki, we'll explore effective strategies for log analysis and visualization, enhancing visibility and troubleshooting capabilities within your Nomad environment.

To help us visualize these scenarios, we'll build a Grafana Dashboard so we can follow along.

Visualization and Analysis: Choose a tool with intuitive and customizable dashboards, charts, and visualizations. A question to ask is, "Are the visualization features of this tool user-friendly and adaptable to our team's specific needs?" Tools like Grafana and Kibana provide powerful visualization capabilities.

Prometheus: Open-source monitoring system. Often used together with Grafana.

Grafana

Yes I'm aware that Grafana is open source but the method I used to find the API endpoints is far quicker than digging through hundreds of files in a codebase I'm not familiar with.

So, you will add one last container to allow us to visualize this data: Grafana, an open-source analytics and visualization platform that allows us to see traces and metrics simply. You can set Grafana to read data from both Tempo and Prometheus by setting them as datastores with the following grafana.datasource.yaml config file:

In example above, we use 2 additional parameters: code (HTTP response code) and page (page identifier), which provide detailed statistics. For example, you can build such graphs in Grafana:

Robin switched to the Grafana dashboard tab, and sure enough, the 5xx volume on web service was rising. It had not hit the critical alert thresholds yet, but customers had already started noticing.
