I need to monitor HTTP traffic within my Kubernetes cluster. Specifically, I need response times, status codes, etc.
Currently, I am using a service mesh (Open Service Mesh) for this purpose. But, is there a lightweight solution that only allows monitoring (without security layer etc.) ?
Thanks for all ideas!
I can recommend you ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Fluent-bit and Kibana), one of the popular monitoring system suites on top of Kubernetes.
Fluent-bit has built-in parsers for logs of popular Web servers (apache, nginx).
Fluent Bit is a super fast, lightweight, and highly scalable logging and metrics processor and forwarder. It is the preferred choice for cloud and containerized environments.
Elasticsearch
Elasticsearch is a distributed, RESTful search and analytics engine capable of addressing a growing number of use cases. As the heart of the Elastic Stack, it centrally stores your data for lightning fast search, fine‑tuned relevancy, and powerful analytics that scale with ease.
Kibana
Kibana is a free and open user interface that lets you visualize your Elasticsearch data and navigate the Elastic Stack. Do anything from tracking query load to understanding the way requests flow through your apps.
