Monitoring Unmanaged Databases

Monitoring Unmanaged Databases

Logging and Monitoring in Unmanaged (GCE) Databases

- Examples: Cassandra, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, HBase- Hosted on Google Compute Engine instances

Built In vs. Additional Monitoring- Built in = no additional configuration needed

- No application-level data- Stackdriver Logging

- Audit logs- "Who created this instance?"

- Does not include application logs- Stackdriver Monitoring

- Instance performance metrics- Disk I/O, CPU usage, network connections

- No application performance metrics

What if we want application data?- Use Stackdriver Agents ? install and configure for the instance

Logging agent vs. Monitoring agent

- Logging Agent = Stackdriver Logging = Application Logs- Configure with Fluentd

- Monitoring Agent = Stackdriver Monitoring = Application performance/metrics/alerts

- May require plugin configuration
