NGINX and Sumo Logic
What better way is there to get insight into your app performance than by leveraging the traffic management tools connecting your apps to your customers? With Sumo Logic and NGINX, you can easily get information on the health of your apps and save valuable time.
NGINX and Sumo Logic
Sumo Logic provides rich insight into NGINX deployments making it easier than ever to comprehensively collect, analyze, alert on and respond to events across your clusters before the customer is impacted.
How we integrate
The team at Sumo Logic has worked closely with NGINX to construct several dashboards that take full advantage of the new ngx_http_api_module for NGINX Plus. This module emits dozens of valuable metrics for connections, requests, HTTP/TCP/UDP upstreams, caches and resolvers that are critical in identifying anomalous behavior that could lead to availability issues.
NGINX and NGINX Plus Observability
Comprehensively collect and analyze logs, metrics, errors and statistical outliers from complex NGINX Plus and NGINX Ingress Controller deployments on any underlying platform or infrastructure. Quickly gain insights into originated traffic location by region, critical errors and response codes, as well as real-time requests and connections metric trends.
Identify trends with Visitor Pattern Analysis
The NGINX Plus app for Sumo Logic parses several valuable insights across your NGINX Plus deployments including top documents accessed, top referrers, top search terms, media types, geographic visitor locations, as well as visitor platform, operating system and device types. Aggregating these key metrics helps teams properly allocate resources for specific content types, perform data-driven resource planning at per-region fidelity, and prioritize platform support that aligns with production usage trends.
NGINX Plus error analysis for advanced troubleshooting
The error log analysis dashboards visualize error messages from your NGINX Plus deployments by client, server and URL. Out-of-the-box error message alerts give teams immediate feedback related to connection outliers, request trends, anomalous server activity and more to help quickly identify and resolve issues before customers are impacted.
Threat Intelligence
Visitor traffic is correlated in real time with CrowdStrike’s Threat Intelligence feed, providing data on threat actors, severity and methods, allowing teams to quickly triage security incidents and respond to threats faster.
