Container Monitoring

Scalable, dynamic monitoring for ephemeral containerized resources alongside your hybrid cloud infrastructure. Get visibility into your Kubernetes and Docker applications in a single monitoring platform that scales with you. LogicMonitor keeps up with your container resource changes automatically so you can focus on innovation.

Rapidly deploy dynamic container monitoring

LogicMonitor automatically discovers containers, microservices, and underlying resources. Identify and solve issues quickly and precisely as Kubernetes container loads scale up and down. LogicMonitor’s container monitoring provides insight into application performance and health, understands when containers disappear, and retains performance data about the nature of the container.

Total container monitoring

Kubernetes

Comprehensively monitor Kubernetes from clusters to Kubelets. LogicMonitor automatically adds and removes cluster resources from monitoring – including nodes, pods, services, and more.

Docker

Built-in Docker integrations and automated discovery ensures visibility of all ephemeral resources.

Amazon ECS

Focus on high-priority issues and reduce alert noise with pre-configured alert thresholds for AWS container services, including EKS and ECS.

Hybrid monitoring to correlate containers with on-premise infrastructure

As businesses modernize and refactor workloads in the cloud, containers become valuable to scaling applications.

  • LogicMonitor presents container insights alongside your organization’s existing monitored hybrid infrastructure in a single unified monitoring platform for visibility across operations teams.
  • Gain insights at the service level over containers to monitor, visualize, and alert on aggregate service level data for holistic business information.

Keep your containerized applications healthy

Organizations need insights into the performance of applications that are running in containers, as well as the health of the underlying container resources and orchestration components.

  • LogicMonitor presents insights alongside your organization’s existing monitored hybrid infrastructure in a single, unified monitoring platform.
  • Focus on the health and performance of the overall service, regardless of changes in underlying resource at both the cluster and application levels
  • LogicMonitor retains data about the performance of the service or application that runs in the container for historical knowledge about container health.

Monitor and track dynamic services and ephemeral resources

Containers and pods are ephemeral resources. It’s difficult to monitor components that may appear (and disappear) quickly and unpredictably. To accurately track ephemeral resources, LogicMonitor employs event-based discovery.

  • Cluster resources are automatically added and removed from monitoring based on Kubernetes events or changes in microservices.
  • Dynamically group together containers and other ephemeral resources supporting common microservices.

Event-based Kubernetes monitoring: a new level of clarity

Event-based Kubernetes monitoring eliminates the most common challenges of monitoring ephemeral resources by:

  • Automatically adding and removing cluster resources including nodes, pods, and services
  • Eliminating the need to deploy an agent on every node
  • Providing insights on underutilized resources to optimize CPU, memory, and more
  • Storing data for up to two years

Identify performance trends

Maintaining data continuity with the complexity of modern applications is challenging.
LogicMonitor uses data across resources supporting a common application to provide long-term views into how that application performs over time.

  • Key performance indicators are aggregated across grouped resources to provide monitoring for the health and performance of the service as a whole.
  • LogicMonitor offers intelligent contextual alerting so you can see what matters, solve problems quickly, and remove alert storm distractions.
  • LogicMonitor proactively alerts you when a container isn’t performing optimally through pre-built or dynamic thresholds.

Track your company’s network and devices with LogicMonitor.

It’s great since we don’t have to install bothersome agents on the devices or hardware that we want to monitor. I didn’t even need to consult the instructions or contact customer support when I wanted to add a device; the process is simple and easy to follow.

LogicMonitor makes container monitoring easy

Benefits of monitoring your containers with LogicMonitor include:

Automated discovery

Frequent and recurring discovery attempts ensure that your monitoring is always up to date. Metadata is automatically populated during discovery, to give you the contextual information you need when viewing and managing monitored resources.

Performance Health

Get long-term views into how a group of resources supporting a common application are performing and correlate performance trends with events.

Dynamic Thresholds

Downtime prevention

Pre-configured alert thresholds ensure that you receive meaningful alerts right away to help proactively prevent downtime.

vEnablingResourcegroup

Dynamic grouping

Dynamic grouping for resources supporting a common service makes it simpler to manage and schedule downtime for those resources. LM Container Helm charts allow you to install all the services necessary to monitor your Kubernetes cluster.

Using LogicMonitor’s Veeam Backup & Replication package, you can monitor the health of this application’s backup, synchronization, and replication operations, as well as the operational state, availability, and maximum task counts of the VMware and Hyper-V proxy hosts.

Service health

Out-of-the-box dashboards provide immediate insights to help you identify how you can optimize your cluster.

Data retention

Identify trends and forecast utilization over time. LogicMonitor tracks, monitors, and alerts on containers and microservices, and retains data for up to two years.

AIOps

Using LogicMonitor’s AIOps Early Warning System and preconfigured container integrations, alert thresholds will keep your inbox from being over-alerted on container notifications. Easily distinguish service-impacting alerts from non-service impacting alerts, and reduce how often you get woken up in the middle of the night. Streamline troubleshooting and proactively prevent issues with these AI-based features:

-Automatically surface anomalies and get precise root cause analysis for business-impacting issues.
-Ensure your teams only receive alerts for the issues that matter with dynamic thresholds tuned to your environment.
-Predict future trends and plan utilization with advanced forecasting and longer data retention.
-Visualize dependencies with dynamic topology mapping

Infrastructure monitoring

Containers are one part of the larger tech stack of an entire infrastructure. Instead of having to switch between services, LogicMonitor not only monitors containers and applications all in one place, but also monitors your entire infrastructure. From network to configuration to cloud and everything in between, LogicMonitor is the unified monitoring platform.

Logs

LM Logs uses sophisticated algorithms and AIOps capabilities to automate log analysis for K8 environments in the same pane of glass as performance monitoring. Automatically analyze log data and surface anomalies for faster troubleshooting of complex environments. Reduce MTTR by correlating monitoring alerts to relevant log data. Save time by eliminating the need to context switch between monitoring and log management platforms.

Microservice and Container Monitoring FAQs

What are microservices

Microservices are an architectural approach to development that is composed of small, individual services that can be built and work on their own, but can be added together for faster development. Microservices are autonomous, allowing each service to work functionally on it’s own.

What are containers

Containers are bundled packages of software that contain all of the necessary elements to function. A container can house one microservice and the libraries and tools needed for it to function, as well as house multiple microservices together for an entire application to run.

What are ephemeral containers?

Ephemeral containers a kind of Kubernetes container that temporarily runs in a pod, and can spin up as necessary, which are used primarily for troubleshooting workloads.
