Description
Several improvements have been made to enhance the visibility of your Virtual Appliances.
Problems
- Logs: A significant amount of logs are generated by connectors and other applications running on the VA. Accessing these logs were difficult during troubleshooting and it was not possible to continuously capture logs into systems of record such as SIEMs.
- Metrics: Performance and resource consumption of the VAs.
- Statuses: Applications deployed to the VAs and associated statuses were not apparent unless you logged directly into the VAs.
Solutions
Log Streaming
The VA OS system journal can now be streamed to a variety of log capture systems including:
- Splunk
- AWS CloudWatch
- Datadog
Application logs from /home/sailpoint/log will also be sent as an option.
Metrics Streaming
Metrics can be sent to popular observability systems that support OpenTelemetry standard. Metrics include:
- CPU, disk, and memory usage
- Application health (CCG)
A complete list of supported systems can be found in the documentation below.
Component Statuses Page
Following the release of the new Standard cluster type, multiple products and applications can be deployed to VAs in the cluster instead of having to deploy entire new cluster types. A new page within Virtual Appliances shows the list of components deployed on the VA, along with basic status of each service associated with the component.
