Review on Zipkin by Gary Shakeone
Excellent choice in container logging software
I like that it's easy for developers of all levels, from newbies right up into senior staff members with some tech background (including myself), can use this product without needing much training or support assistance when first getting started - just point-and-click! The only thing we don't really love about zipkincore at present time are its performance characteristics within our application/microservices architecture when running multiple nodes simultaneously; as such there may be additional features which will improve upon those areas if they do exist but haven’t been implemented yet so far.
Currently monitoring metrics around API requests per second etc.; also tracking down issues related specifically to node(s) failures by way of looking through logs & graphs where applicable.
- I like that it's simple and easy to set up, deploy, and maintain on a day to day basis; and that it's great for monitoring and managing service uptime and errors
- I dislike that there are some limitations in its ability to monitor some specific aspects of your architecture such as the HTTP requests/responses, and the HTTP status codes it can record
