Pivotal Cloud Foundry Monitoring with Datadog

In part three of this series, we showed you a number of methods and tools for accessing key metrics and logs from a Pivotal Cloud Foundry deployment. Some of these tools help PCF operators monitor the health and performance of the cluster, whereas others allow developers to view metrics, logs, and performance data from their applications running on the cluster.

Collecting Pivotal Cloud Foundry logs and metrics

So far in this series we’ve explored Pivotal Cloud Foundry’s architecture and looked at some of the most important metrics for monitoring each PCF component. In this post, we’ll show you how you can view these metrics, as well as application and system logs, in order to monitor your PCF cluster and the applications running on it.

In this article we will look at some of the most important metrics that PCF operators should monitor. These metrics provide information that can help you ensure that the deployment is running smoothly, that it has enough capacity to meet demand, and that the applications hosted on it are healthy.
