Monitoring Docker with ELK
Download as pptx, pdf3 likes1,366 views
This document discusses monitoring containers with the ELK stack. It introduces ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) as a solution for centralized logging of containers. It describes using Logstash to collect logs from Docker containers via syslog and using a Docker log collector container to fetch logs and metrics from all containers on a Docker host. The document concludes with a demonstration of ELK for container monitoring.

- 26. Docker —> ELK • Use syslog logging driver logging: driver: syslog options: syslog-address: "udp://$IP_LOGSTASH:5000" syslog-tag: “nginx-with-syslog" • Use logspout and Logstash module : input { udp { port => 5000 codec => json } }
- 27. Docker Log Collector • Dedicated container • Unified logging layer, fetching: • Docker logs from all the running containers per Docker host • Docker stats for all the containers • Docker daemon events
- 28. How it works • Based on docker-loghose and docker-stats • POST /containers/{id}/attach, to fetch the logs • GET /containers/{id}/stats, to fetch the stats of the container • GET /containers/json, to detect the containers that are running when this module starts • GET /events, to detect new containers that will start after the module has started
- 29. Running it $ docker pull logzio/logzio-docker $ docker run -d --restart=always -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock logzio/logzio-docker -t UfKqCazQjUYnBNcJqSryIRyDIjExjwIZ

Editor's Notes
- #3: Need to start looking at our Docker environment from a more high level view. This talk will also try and approach Docker from a more holistic point of view.
- #5: One picture is worth 1000 words! Chaos
- #8: Logging is hands down the best way to see how your application is behaving, and when utilized properly allows you to catch problems early and make key technical decisions. IT infrastructures on the cloud
- #9: Multiple use cases across operations, security, BI and IoT
- #10: Log analytics market - divided into two disproportionate parts Splunk invented the space, small section of the market. Majority of the market are using ELK. Open source sitting on the convergence of various log analytics software: Hadoop, Spark, Elasticsearch Hadoop, Spark, Graphite, Kafka…ELK!
- #11: Log analysis is like automated testing. Everyone know they need to do it, but no one ever does do it.
- #12: Logs are coming in from a huge amount of servers all over the place - they can be on the cloud, local or hybrid. Puppet survey. Logging is different for each app/system: PHP/node, apache/nginx Large production environments consist of hundreds of servers Large data volume, difficult to find - remote access, authentication SSHing + GREPing is simply not enough
- #14: Multiple containers per host, each with its own env, dedicated process - monitoring logs for each container is not a viable option Number of processes running within the same container Logz.io: 60 hosts running at any given time, each with a number of containers
- #15: Various types of data being outputted by each container
- #16: Traditional logging and monitoring took metrics static servers with long uptime Containers come and go, constantly moving, dynamic - some Docker servers run hundreds of short-term containers s You can’t log to the container since the data will be lost
- #17: Data is no longer persistent and accessible, in the container era - data is ephemeral and distributed, turning log analytics into an engineering art Log analytics has become black magic - not unprone to human mistakes and errors.
- #18: Application logging using data volumes - app handles logging using a logging framework, drawbacks: requires setup in app, no stats/events Logspout - runs as a container per host, drawbacks: only for stdout/stderr, no stats/events, not meant for management so no retention. Extremely popular (Datadog research) Drivers - drawbacks: tough to troubleshoot and administrate, miss out on daemon events and stats, requires extra config SaaS - cost, focus on monitoring metrics
- #19: Why so popular? Simple and beautiful! Easy to get started UI is awesome! Open Source and free! Fast, very fast!
- #20: Website down scenario
- #22: Distributed architecture (sharding, replication) allows for huge capacity, scaling up to hundreds of servers and storing petabytes of data On the same hardware, queries that would take more than 10 seconds using SQL will return results in under 10 milliseconds in Elasticsearch. The result of all this is: a fast, scalable and reliable data store that can power any data discovery application.
- #23: The stack’s workhorse - can process data from any source Hundreds of output plugins: AWS S3, MongoDB, Redis, Riak and many more
- #26: 2225 Elasticsearch images Over 100K pulls, configures log rotation, certification keys for log shippers.
- #27: In both cases, stdout and stderr output Downfalls: Per host Resource consumption No stats/events
- #28: Dedicated container making logging a part of the architecture Simplified scaling - simply run a container Daemon events: attach, commit, copy, create, destroy, detach, die, etc. — for understanding the lifecycle of containers
- #30: On GitHub, so you can customize it any way you want.
- #32: Errors and warnings Container CPU% - will help you set CPU limits for containers Container memory usage - will help you set memory limits for containers # of running containers - handy during deployments and updates to check that everything is running like before Network usage
- #34: No silver bullet! (Bela Lugosi, 1931) Docker is still not mature enough, does not mean that logging is not necessary! ELK - is scalable, adds visualization layer, easier centralized analysis
- #37: Monitoring host performance (not just Docker) collectl Rsyslog
