Monitoring and Log forwarding for Linux and Windows Containers

Powered by

Collectord

Container-native solution for log forwarding and metrics collection

All our solutions are powered by the Collectord, a container-native software built by Outcold Solutions that provides capabilities for discovering, transforming and forwarding logs, collecting system metrics, collecting metrics from the control plane of the orchestration frameworks and forwarding network activity. Collectord provides flexible and powerful tools for transforming logs. With our software you can hide sensitive information from the loglines before forwarding them. With Collectord you can reduce the licensing costs associated with logging aggregation by choosing which data you want to forward from the log streams. Collectord forwards container logs, host logs and can discover logs written by the containerized applications.

Use cases

Application Monitoring

See detailed metrics from containers and processes, including performance metrics, utilization metrics and security insights. Forward application-specific metrics, exported in Prometheus format. Use prebuilt Splunk dashboards for a comprehensive overview.

Log Aggregation

Aggregate logs from containers, applications, and servers. Use flexible mappings to filter logs enriched with container metadata, correlate logs with metrics, and leverage Splunk capabilities for analyzing logs. Use Collectord to transform logs before they reach Splunk, remove sensitive information, remove PII data to help keep your logs GDPR compliant. With Collectord you can reduce licensing and storage costs by choosing which loglines you want to forward.

Cluster Health Monitoring

Diagnose cluster issues by looking at historical events, monitoring allocations, and regulating cluster capacity. Leverage pre-built alerts for monitoring the health of the clusters out of the box.

Security and Audit

Define access to the data by clusters, namespaces and even pods or containers. Review network activities, happening inside your cluster, and outside connections. Verify containers running with elevated security permissions. Use audit logs for monitoring changes in deployments.

Reduce complexity and improve productivity

Use one tool to collect and forward logs and metrics required by developers for reviewing performance and health of their applications. With the annotations developers can define how they want to see the data in log aggregation tool, specify multiline log patterns, removing terminal escape codes, override types, sources and indexes.

Focus on your applications. We will take care of infrastructure monitoring and log forwarding

Product highlights

Metadata

Container and application logs enriched with the metadata (name, labels, image).

Audit

What happened? When did it happen? Who initiated it?

Role-based access

Define access to the data by clusters, namespaces and even pods or containers.

Metrics

Cpu, Memory, Disk, Network. Review limits and requests of containers. Monitor process health with detailed information collected from proc filesystem.

Alerts

Diagnose cluster issues by looking at historical events, monitoring allocations, and regulating cluster capacity. Leverage pre-built alerts for monitoring the health of the clusters out of the box.

Prometheus Metrics

Forwarding Prometheus metrics from Control Plane and Pods. Review health of the cluster with pre-built dashboards for main Control Plane components, including kubelets, etcd clusters, API Servers and Controllers.

Network Activities

Review network activities, happening inside your cluster, and outside connections.

Logs Discovery and transformation

With annotations define field extractions, multi-line event patterns, hide sensitive information, discover application logs, specify target index, source or sourcetype, and more.
