In-built observability for App Environments
Jan 24, 2025
Did you know? Every app environment spinned up by LocalOps comes with its own unique fully pre-configured Loki + Prometheus + Grafana stack.
This is super convenient as you don't have to set this up for each and every app environment - staging, production, customer1-us, customer2-eu etc., You can get full observability from the 0th minute.
All logs printed by your application on STDERR or STDOUT are automatically collected by Loki and are kept accessible/queryable within within the Grafana dashboard. All system metrics including CPU, Memory, Disk, Network utilization of all containers, pods and nodes are recorded by in-built prometheus and kept accessible within the Grafana dashboard.
Data retention: And from now, all logs and metrics recorded by the monitoring stack have 30-day retention policy. Any log statement/metric data point is automatically deleted after 30 days. This significantly reduces the risk of unintentional data leaks when developers print sensitive information on logs by accident.
To top it all, when you login to Grafana, you can setup slack / ms teams alerts based on these recorded logs and metrics.
And yes, you can very well stop paying for DataDog/NewRelic if you provision production/staging environments using LocalOps.
