Philipp Krenn - 360° monitoring of your microservices

“With microservices every outage is like a murder mystery” is a common banter. But it doesn’t have to be! This talk gives an overview on how to monitor Spring Boot applications, since they are increasingly popular for building microservices.

We dive into:
• System metrics: Keep track of network traffic and system load.
• Application logs: Collect and parse yourlogs.
• Application metrics: Get the information from Boot’s metric and health endpoints and store it.
• Request tracing: Use Sleuth to trace requests through a distributed system.
• Uptime monitoring: Use Heartbeat to ping services and actively monitor their availability.
