Chapter 1. Introduction to Red Hat OpenStack Platform monitoring tools
Monitoring tools are an optional suite of tools designed to help operators maintain an OpenStack environment. The tools perform the following functions:
- Centralized logging: Allows you gather logs from all components in the OpenStack environment in one central location. You can identify problems across all nodes and services, and optionally, export the log data to Red Hat for assistance in diagnosing problems.
- Availability monitoring: Allows you to monitor all components in the OpenStack environment and determine if any components are currently experiencing outages or are otherwise not functional. You can also configure the system to alert you when problems are identified.
