LogDNA released
new templates for DevOps teams using NGINX with Kubernetes. Configured
specifically for the open source and NGINX Plus-based versions of NGINX Ingress Controller,
these templates ensure that developers can use best practices to
quickly gain visibility into their Kubernetes Ingress logs, allowing
them to create an end-to-end view of their data across all systems for
easier monitoring and troubleshooting.
Container orchestration with Kubernetes has exploded in popularity over the past several years with more than 80% of enterprises using
it in production. An Ingress controller is one of the most important
components of a production-grade Kubernetes deployment, and as the most widely used Ingress technology,
NGINX provides developers with an easy-to-use and highly customizable
solution. For these developers, LogDNA is a critical part of their
observability stack, offering actionable visibility into Kubernetes
clusters so that engineers aren't drowning in data that they can't use
effectively.
"Kubernetes
clusters produce a lot of data. This is good because more data means
more visibility into the environment, but it's important that our
customers have shortcuts to actionability that save them time," said
Peter Cho, vice president of product, LogDNA. "The NGINX Ingress
Controller template can be set up in minutes, making it easy for users
to quickly gain value from our platform. They spend less time with
manual configurations so they can get back to building features and
products that benefit their businesses."
As
technology partners, LogDNA and NGINX leveraged our respective
expertise around Kubernetes to create a DevOps-focused logging template
for NGINX Ingress Controller. The new template includes preconfigured
Views, Boards, and Screens that help developers visualize web traffic,
latency, and response codes coming from the NGINX Ingress Controller.
NGINX users who are using NGINX as a web server can
also leverage the Web Server template to quickly unlock insights and
gain visibility into HTTP web servers via LogDNA with similar
pre-configured Views, Boards, and Screens. Now, developers using NGINX
can view logs from various sources-from the frontend to the backend-all
in one platform.
LogDNA
Template Library is a growing collection of Views, Boards, and Screens
templates to simply install into a user's LogDNA account with just a few
clicks. The library also includes web server templates for Apache, Heroku templates for Dynos and web apps, and Windows Security templates for events via NXLog.
These make it easy for LogDNA customers to leverage best practices
without having to fiddle with log line formats, manually configure alert
conditions, or figure out which metrics to prioritize and plot.
Templates also ensure that users get the maximum benefit from using
multiple platforms together.
All
templates in the Template Library are configurable after installation
so it's easy to expand, alert on, and customize. Learn more about them
