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

Requirements

1. Docker
2. Npm - node
3. Vue CLI

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"

IMPORTANT if you run this localy.

For the web-client to run you will need to visit https://api-login.swarmlab.io:8089/ and login with your credentials so you will get a token. The token is visible in the url after your login.

Then, you will need to copy the url and paste it into the file runLlo.vue, which is into playground-client/src/components/doclive/

The line of code that needs to be replaced is the line 690 where you can see a url string. Replace it with your url and save it. The project will refresh and now you will be able to use the web-client.

Ansible Deployment for Swarlab-Hybrid (not finished)

An extra deployment method is currently under development so the files:

mongo.yml

monitorall.yml.sh

node.yml

inventory.yml

are to be ignored completely at the moment.

Important files for those who are interested

Playground-client

First of all, the web-client is a basic vue.js project.
