Scenario: Viewing container metrics and logs

Before starting to work with the logging subsystem, it is recommended to read the Grafana User Guide.

The Kaspersky MLAD log stores entries only for the last 48 hours.

This subsection provides steps for assessing the performance and viewing the logs of a specific container from the Kaspersky MLAD distribution kit.

The scenario for assessing the performance and viewing the logs of a specific container consists of the following steps:

  1. Navigating to the logging subsystem

    Select the Logging subsection from the user menu. This opens the Grafana interface in which you need to enter the login and password of the Kaspersky MLAD user.

    This is available only for Kaspersky MLAD users with the administrator role.

  2. Navigating to the section with container logs and metrics

    Go to the Service detailed monitoring section and select the relevant container from the Container drop-down list.

  3. Analyzing container metrics

    In the Service detailed monitoring section, analyze the graphs of Kaspersky MLAD metrics for the selected container during the relevant period.

    The Service detailed monitoring section provides the following metrics:

    • Memory – history of the container's RAM usage. This is measured in bytes.
    • CPU – history of central processor workload caused by the container. This is measured as a percentage.
    • File system – history of the container's load on the disk subsystem (read/write operations). This is measured in bytes.
    • Network – history of the container's use of network resources. This is measured in bytes per second.
  4. Analyzing container logs

    Analyze the container log records for the selected period, which are displayed under the metrics dashboard. You can search the container log records. To do so, enter a search query in the Log search field and press the ENTER key. To reset the search results, clear the Log search field and press the ENTER key.

  5. Exporting container logs

    To export container logs for the selected period to a text file, in the Service detailed monitoring section, select Inspect → Data from the Service log drop-down list and click Download CSV in the opened form.
