Lab 3: Application Monitoring¶

Here we use the IBM Cloud Monitoring (lite plan) service.

Architecture¶

The following simplified architecture diagram show the dependencies of the Code Engine project, the Quay Container Registry, the IBM Cloud Logging and the ÌBM Cloud Monitoring.

Create the monitoring service automatically¶

Note: If you are using an IBM Cloud TechZone Environment, you can skip the Create the monitoring service automatically you don't need to create the service because the service exists.

You can create the lite service instances for logging and monitoring by using this bash script ce-create-monitoring-logging-services.sh.

cd $ROOT_FOLDER/CE
bash ce-create-monitoring-logging-services.sh

Open the monitoring for all applications¶

Step 1: Go back to the project overview¶

Step 2: Select `Actions -> Monitoring`¶

In case you don't have an existing instance of IBM Cloud Monitoring Code Engine, follow steps in Create an IBM Cloud Monitoring service manually or use the bash script.

Step 3: Verify that IBM Cloud Monitoring opens in the browser¶

Create an IBM Cloud Monitoring service manually¶

Step 1: Select `Add monitoring`¶

In case you don't have an existing instance of IBM Cloud Monitoring Code Engine will automatically guide you to create a lite plan instance, when you select Add monitoring.
