This video is a HashiCorp #Vault Monitoring Tutorial using #Prometheus, #Grafana, and #Loki.
Monitoring Vault is essential to ensure its availability, performance, security, and compliance. By collecting and analyzing metrics (Telemetry), system logs, and audit logs from Vault, you can troubleshoot issues, identify trends, detect anomalies, and enforce policies. Monitoring Vault also helps to optimize resource utilization, reduce costs, and improve user experience.
Below is the monitoring stack used:
- Prometheus is a popular open-source monitoring system that can collect and store metrics from Vault.
- Loki is a lightweight log aggregation system that can ingest and query system logs and audit logs from Vault.
- Grafana is a powerful visualization tool that can connect to Prometheus and Loki and display metrics and logs in a single dashboard.
By using these tools together, you can monitor Vault's health, performance, security, and compliance in a unified and user-friendly way. You can also create alerts, dashboards, and reports based on the data collected from Vault.
