Live Kubernetes Debugging with the Elastic Stack

Friday, September 27 – Day 2 - 15:30 - Room 3

Your Kubernetes app is down. Your users start ranting on Twitter. Your boss is standing right behind you. What do you do now?

This workshop walks you through a live debugging session without panicking:
– What do your health checks say?
– Where does your monitoring point you?
– Can you get more details from your application’s traces?
– Is there anything helpful in the logs?
– What the heck is even deployed?

We are using the open source Elastic Stack with a special focus on its Kubernetes integration with metadata enrichment and auto discovery in combination with APM / tracing, metrics, logs, and health checks.
