This episode dives into Istio log management and showcases how Dynatrace OpenPipeline can be a game-changer for developers working with Istio and Envoy.
We start by introducing you to the fundamentals of Istio, explaining why it’s a top choice for Kubernetes clusters and the role Envoy logs play in improving observability.
Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn in this episode:
- Why logs are essential for observability and how OpenTelemetry can standardize them.
- A breakdown of Envoy logs in Istio’s sidecar mode and the insights they provide.
- How to transform logs into actionable metrics using Dynatrace OpenPipeline.
- Step-by-step guidance on configuring Istio, setting up log agents, deploying the Dynatrace operator, and more.
- Designing a DQL query to extract key insights and filtering fields to streamline your logs.
- Tips to configure a new Envoy pipeline to generate metrics and minimize log storage footprint.
Henrik @HenrikRexed will walk you through these technical processes so you can focus on leveraging Istio and Dynatrace OpenPipeline to their fullest potential. By the end of the video, you’ll have a clear roadmap for improving efficiency while reducing the complexity of your observability setup.
