Global monitoring solution for the operation of cloud and ETL applications
Project duration: 1 year
Brief description
The main objective of this project is to create a centralized global monitoring solution for various applications, databases and ETL processes running in an enterprise environment. The solution consolidates monitoring functions, log tracking and alerting mechanisms into a single platform. By leveraging Azure services, the project streamlines the process of identifying and diagnosing problems, reduces downtime and simplifies workflows for both developers and support teams. Standard monitoring products are being evaluated but are proving inadequate to meet the unique architecture and diverse requirements of the system.
Supplement
The solution uses multiple Azure services to ensure seamless data collection, aggregation and monitoring. Application Insights is integrated into all applications and collects telemetry data in real time. Log Analytics serves as a central hub for collecting and analyzing logs from various services and applications. Azure Monitor monitors these logs and metrics and triggers alerts based on predefined thresholds. The aggregated data is stored in Cosmos DB, providing a scalable and quickly accessible database for dashboards. In addition, other Azure services such as Key Vault, Service Bus, SQL Database and Storage Account are also monitored via the system.
Subject description
With Azure Monitor and its alerting mechanisms, real-time notifications are sent to the appropriate teams, reducing downtime and speeding up the incident resolution process. By adding availability checks and improved logging to the SDKs, developers now have more detailed insights into the behavior of their applications, enabling faster troubleshooting and improving overall performance. The support team can easily diagnose and escalate issues based on the logs and metrics summarized in Cosmos DB and displayed in the system overview. This visibility significantly improves operational efficiency.
