Setting up the Standard Observability Suite in DuploCloud
Observability components are not turned on by default.
You need to enable the standard observability components before using them. To do this, navigate to Administrator -> Observability -> Standard -> Settings and follow the instructions in the rest of this section.
Setting up Logging in the DuploCloud Portal
Navigate to Administrator -> Observability -> Standard -> Settings, and select the Logging tab to enable Logging. Click on Enable Logging.
Logging is based on OpenSearch and Kibana, deployed in the Tenant of your choice, and configurable, as shown below.
After enabling logging, choose which Tenants to collect logs from. The platform deploys collectors for each Tenant that you enable. Filebeat is the collector for Logs.
If you have a multi-region setup, create a separate logging infrastructure setup for each region to avoid the cost of cross-region data transfer.
Enabling Metrics collection for centralized monitoring and select Tenants
The Metrics control plane uses Grafana, Prometheus, and Yace. They are only deployable in Default Tenant.
Navigate to Administrator -> Observability -> Standard -> Settings. Select the Monitoring tab to enable Metrics, and click the Enable Monitoring link.
In the Monitoring tab, select Enable Centralized Monitoring.
Below, the Monitoring view is shown after the metrics have been enabled. cAdvisor and Node Exporter collect metrics. Selecting a Tenant deploys the containers on all the Hosts in that Tenant.
Setting up Auditing in the DuploCloud Portal Standard Observability Suite
The DuploCloud Standard Observability Suite generates audit trails using OpenSearch. Enabling logging is a prerequisite for audit functionality.
In the DuploCloud Portal, navigate to Administrator -> Observability -> Standard -> Settings -> Audit and click the Enable Audit link.
Once enabled, the Audit view is accessible at Administrator -> Observability ->Audit. See the Auditing topic for further details.
