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.

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.

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.

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.

DuploCloud provides a default Kibana URL for viewing Logging data, but if you want to update filters or customize further, you can override the default with these settings.
