Metrics & Monitoring

In addition to Logging & Auditing, meshStack supports metric monitoring of production deployments using Prometheus. Our managed service team relies on this monitoring to operate meshStack installations.

Prometheus Scraping

Prometheus scrapes metrics from nodes as well as from all meshStack configuration. Scraping is secured using HTTPS Basic auth. The credentials are managed as part of the deployment.

Additional Alert Inboxes

meshStack comes with pre-configured alerting rules. These alerts are typically only addressed to our managed service team, but can also be sent to additional alert inboxes if required.

These email inboxes be configured in the meshStack configuration model under monitor as follows:

{
, additionalAlertAddresses = [ "alerts@example.com" ]
}

Sonar

meshStack includes a component called Sonar that runs live smoke tests in your meshStack implementation. These smoke test simulate real end-to-end user interactions with meshStack via the external API. These tests also include end-to-end interaction with meshPlatforms like tenant replication.

Setting up Sonar requires a meshCustomer and meshProject as well as a technical user in meshIdB. Depending on the Enterprise IdP and IAM configuration in your meshStack implementation this setup may not be possible.

Sonar can be configured in the meshStack configuration model under monitor.sonar as follows:

{
  -- Credentials for a technical user in meshIdB
  username = Text
, password = Secret
 -- Identifiers for a meshCustomer
  customer : Text
, project : Text
-- The scan interval in seconds
, scanInterval : Natural
-- The targets to scan (meshPlatform identifier and meshTenant `/access` URL)
, targets : List { platformName : Text, url : Text }
}
