Monitor Your Java Applications with the Elastic Stack: Logs, Metrics, Pings, and Traces

This talk gives an overview on how to monitor distributed applications. We dive into:

  • System metrics: Keep track of network traffic and system load.
  • Application logs: Collect structured logs in a central location.
  • Uptime monitoring: Ping services and actively monitor their availability and response time.
  • Application metrics: Get the information from the application’s metrics and health endpoints via REST or JMX.
  • Request tracing: Trace requests through a distributed system and show how long each call takes and where errors are happening.

And we will do all of that live, since it is so easy and much more interactive that way.

Cette conférence donnera un aperçu sur comment monitorer efficacement ses applications Spring Boot sachant qu’elles deviennent de plus en plus populaires pour bâtir des microservices.

En particulier, nous étudierons :

  • Métriques système : regarder à la loupe le trafic réseau et la charge système.
  • Logs applicatif : collecter et centraliser des logs structurés.
  • Disponibilité : utiliser Heartbeat pour effectivement mesurer la disponibilité et les temps de réponse de nos services.
  • Métriques applicatif : rassembler les métriques de Spring Boot et l’état de santé via REST ou JMX.
  • Performance applicative : utiliser APM par elastic pour rapidement identifier les causes des ralentissements.

Cerise sur le gâteau : nous ferons tout cela en live car c’est encore plus simple et plus interactif !

Details

I discovered Elasticsearch project in 2011. After contributed to the project and created open source plugins for it, David joined elastic the company in 2013 where he is Developer and Evangelist. He also created and still actively managing the French spoken language User Group. At elastic, he mainly worked on Elasticsearch source code, specifically on open-source plugins. In his free time, he likes talking about elasticsearch in conferences or in companies (Brown Bag Lunches AKA BBLs ). He is also author of FSCrawler project which helps to index your pdf, open office, whatever documents in elasticsearch using Apache Tika behind the scene.

Who am I?

Developer | Evangelist at elastic and creator of the Elastic French User Group . Frequent speaker about all things Elastic, in conferences, for User Groups and in companies with BBL talks . In my free time, I enjoy coding and deejaying as DJ Elky , just for fun. Living with my children in Cergy, France.
