Monitoring

[kwinkel]

To observe everything, the components should at least have some kind of log stream

Logging

Gameserver
The logfiles are taken by an agent to be parsed and delivered to a log-aggregation platform like Grafana Loki.
When the gameserver runs within a container and its not using stdout, it might get a bit more hacky with mounts.

Gameserver-API & Web-UI
Assuming that the API runs inside a container, the container-engine takes the stdout of the application and redirects it to a local logfile.
The logfile is then taken by an agent to be parsed and delivered to a log-aggregation platform like Grafana Loki.

Metrics

The backend components collect several metrics then exposed via an http-endpoint to be collected by eg. Prometheus or Telegraf.
Those metrics can even be health-check results by Microsoft HealthChecks.
