Logs Collected

There are various logs that can be collected and sent to Stackdriver Logging using the BlueMedora BindPlane Log Agent:

  • Application Logs
  • Production Logs
  • API Logs
  • Sidekiq Logs
  • Shell Logs

These logs provide, when coupled with Stackdriver Logging, provide visibility into events that have occurred, such as user creation. Information related to tasks being processed in the background, requests being made directly to the API, Gitlab shell information, and Rails controller requests made from Gitlab are all included.

Here are a few example screenshots of logs being displayed in Stackdriver Logging
