System and Service Monitoring and Analysis in a Cloud Environment with Services based on Containers

Installation Process

git clone <insert_git_project_url>
cd Thesis
chmod 700 install.sh
./install.sh

Run Web-client

./runw.sh

Run the rest services

docker-compose up

...and you are done.

You can access the web-client on and monitor some logs:

http://localhost:8080

Add your own Service to the system

All you have to do is add it to the docker-compose file or run it afterwords with a simple docker run command. You need to configure the logging driver though. Example:

docker run --network="thesis_playground-net" --log-driver=fluentd --log-opt tag="mongo.node3" -p 3003:3001 dummyservice

You will need to mention a tag as "mongo.whateveryouwant" to be able to see your logs. If your service is a mongoDB, a nodejs app, or a redis you can pick the right tag so you can see your logs. Tags that are already known to the app are "mongo.node", "mongo.redis", "mongo.mongo"
