Logging and Monitoring Setup

Default Dashboard

Navigate to the Monitoring section where you can find the Dashboard section on the left as shown in the image below
Where you can see the available services for monitoring, choose the service you want

Here you can find the cloud run services we have created. Select the cloud run you want to view

Logging

Navigate to Cloud Logging → Logs Explorer
Cloud Logging stores all logs in a centralized location. In the Logs Explorer, you can navigate to the logs for a specific resource, create alerts, and run queries to filter logs quickly.

We can also view the logs in the console of specific services

To View cloud run logs:

Navigate to cloud run
Click the name of the cloud run svc
Navigate to the logs as shown below

Slack Alert Notification

Navigate to notification channels

Navigate to slack and click on add new

Allow Google Cloud Monitoring to access your slack workspace
Give your Slack Channel Name and Cloud Alerting Display Name

Deployment Pipelines

For infrastructure and application deployment, all is managed through Terraform Cloud consisting of multiple projects [ sts-nonprod-gcp, sts-prod-gcp, sts-bootstrap-gcp ], each of these projects further consist multiple workspaces related to infra, apps, monitoring, and alerts.

Terraform Cloud

Modules are being published in the Terraform Cloud registry for each individual resource for GCP. These root modules are then called out in workspaces as and when required.

We have below workspaces created for GCP Non-Prod environment,

Arthur-gcp-bootstrap : This is for a bootstrap project, Artifact Registry is present. Arthur-gcp-nonprod-control-plane-infra : This is for infra deployment. Arthur-gcp-nonprod-control-plane-apps : This is for app deployment. Arthur-gcp-nonprod-control-plane-monitoring : This is for control plane monitoring. Arthur-gcp-nonprod-control-plane-alerts : This is for control plane alerts. Arthur-gcp-nonprod-data-plane-infra : This is for infra deployment. Arthur-gcp-nonprod-data-plane-apps : This is for app deployment. Arthur-gcp-nonprod-data-plane-monitoring : This is for data plane monitoring. Arthur-gcp-nonprod-data-plane-alerts : This is for data plane alerts.

To replicate the same single tenant for different environments, we need to make a copy of the above eight [2 to 9] workspaces, update the tfvars file as required and add the service account in bootstrap project for pulling images to the new projects created.

Need to add the service account key which is used for terraform deployment as a workspace variable in Terraform Cloud, so it can authenticate with GCP and start the deployments.
