Here’s everything you need to know to get started with Dashbird – the complete solution for End-to-End Infrastructure observability , Real-time Error Tracking, and Well-Architected Insights. When working with AWS, One cannot emphasize enough the architectural best practices for designing workloads. One of those best practices is to design the solution in such a way that the monitoring of infrastructure and troubleshooting of errors and problems is achieved effortlessly.

When you’re troubleshooting an application on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), the more context that you have on the issue, the faster you can resolve it. For example, did the pod exceed it’s memory allocation? Was there a permissions error reserving the storage volume? Did a rogue regex in the app pin the CPU? All of these questions require developers and operators to build a lot of troubleshooting context.

Logs are an essential part of troubleshooting applications and services. However, ensuring your developers, DevOps, ITOps, and SRE teams have access to the logs they need, while accounting for operational tasks such as scaling up, access control, updates, and keeping your data compliant, can be challenging. To help you offload these operational tasks associated with running your own logging stack, we offer Cloud Logging.

In Part 1 of this series, we looked at the key EFS metrics you should monitor, and in Part 2 we showed you how you can use tools from AWS and Linux to collect and alert on EFS metrics and logs. Monitoring EFS in isolation, however, can lead to visibility gaps as you try to understand the full context of your application’s health and performance.
