Enable Telemetry Metrics

Telemetry metrics allow you to monitor system performance and detect issues such as increased latency or errors.

• Update the Helm Chart Configuration: Modify your Helm chart or Kubernetes deployment manifest to enable metrics:

telemetry:
  metrics:
    enabled: true
    port: 8080

• Deploy the Changes: Apply the updated configuration:

kubectl apply -f akeyless-gateway-deployment.yaml

• Configure Prometheus: Add the following scrape configuration to your Prometheus setup:

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'akeyless-gateway'
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['akeyless-gateway-service:8080']

• Visualize in Grafana:
  • Import the Prometheus data source into Grafana.
  • Create dashboards for metrics such as Request Rates, Response Times, and Error Rates.

Log Forwarding

Log forwarding centralizes logs for analysis and troubleshooting.

• Enable Log Forwarding: Modify the Helm chart or Kubernetes deployment manifest:

logForwarding:
  enabled: true
  destination:
    type: loki
    url: http://loki:3100

• Apply the Changes: Deploy the updated configuration:

kubectl apply -f akeyless-gateway-deployment.yaml

• Verify Logs:
  • Check that logs are being forwarded to your configured destination.
  • Use Loki, Splunk, or Elasticsearch for querying and visualization.
