How to monitor Anbox Cloud

Note: With the latest 1.23.0 release, the Anbox Cloud documentation is moved to https://documentation.ubuntu.com/anbox-cloud/en/latest/. Hence, the information in this discourse post may be obsolete. The documentation posts on discourse will be unlisted and archived shortly.
Discourse will still be used for user engagement and release announcements.

Anbox Cloud gathers various performance metrics and makes them accessible through API endpoints. While Anbox Cloud does not provide its own observability solution, it supports implementing and integrating custom solutions for monitoring performance.

See Prometheus metrics for a list of available metrics and how to access them. LXD Metric exporter for instances has a list of metrics available through LXD.

The implementation of a monitoring or observability solution depends on your specific use case and the tools that you want to use. See Open source observability for enterprises for an overview of observability tools and stacks that are recommended and supported by Canonical. In particular, see the Canonical Observability Stack (LMA2).

There are plans in the Anbox Cloud roadmap to provide better monitoring abilities by using the Canonical Observability Stack.
