StackDriver Integration with AWS Elastic Beanstalk - Part 1

Stack Driver Setup


Step 1: Create stackdriver project

Navigate to https://stackdriver.com  After logging in you will be redirected to project creation page. To manage multiple environments of your application its advisable that you create just two projects. One for production env and other one for non-prod. Even though you might have multiple non-production environments, but having one stackdriver project per application-env is overkill. So, lets start with production project. For this tutorial, I'll create CodeHooDoo-Prod project.

Once the project is created, StackDriver will ask you to link your AWS account resources to it for monitoring.  But as AWS CloudWatch has good monitoring and alerting support you can skip this one. Keep clicking continue until you get to monitoring console. Click on the logging. This is where you will get all the logs from your application server.


Step 2: Download authentication key

Navigate backt to https://stackdriver.com .  On the top left project dropdown click the name of the project -> Account Settings -> Users and Permissions -> Encryption Keys -> Create key ring.

If Create key ring button is disabled, click on the setup button on top right. It will take you through billing setup. Once done, click on Create key ring button. It will download key file. Save it to be used in Part 2 of this tutorial.

Auto Scaling DynamoDB

By
Those of you who have worked with the DynamoDB long enough, will be aware of the tricky scaling policies of DynamoDB. It allows user to explicitly set requests per second (units per second, but for simplicity we will just say request per second). User can do so for read as well as write operations. Anytime user can increase or decrease the provision capacity from DynamoDB web console and it will reflect immediately. Sounds all good....... Or not? What if you set provisioned capacity to 50 req per second but load on the server crosses 100 req per second? Requests gets throttled!! Mostly times out. What's worse? This can cause requests getting queued up in your web server. Which can potentially bring your entire server down. What if you set provisioned capacity to 1000 req per second but load on the server is only 100 req per second through out the day? You lose your hard earned money for remaining 900 req per second. What if you set it to 1000 req per sec and then realis

StackDriver Integration with AWS Elastic Beanstalk - Part 2

By
Eb Extension Config Our goal is to create a configuration such that, it can run on any elastic beanstalk instance. It should send production and non-production logs to two seperate Stackdriver projects. Adding monitoring for new log file should include minimal changes at best. If you have used Elastic Beanstalk before, probably you will be familiar with eb-extensions scripts. These are the set of commands those run everytime application is deployed on the EB. Step 1: Create folder .ebextension in your WEB-ROOT directory.  EB by default looks for ".config" files under .ebextension directory and executes on app-deployment. Add sub-directory called "stackdriver" under .ebextension directory that you just created. Step 2: Add google-fluentd.conf file in stackdriver directory.  Fluent-d agent runs on this configuration. This file tells the fluentd where to look for log files. Following sample file configures fluentd to check for app.log and billing.log files.
