Monitoring Applications Deployed to Runtime Fabric

Anypoint Monitoring includes tools that provide feedback from Mule flows and components in your application network. Anypoint Monitoring runs as a sidecar in application deployments and gathers metrics for applications and API gateways deployed to Runtime Fabric. Titanium-plan customers have access to additional capabilities, including application log retrieval and search.

By default, Runtime Fabric is configured to send application metrics to Anypoint Monitoring. Data is securely transmitted using mutual TLS encryption. For metrics and logs to be sent to Anypoint Monitoring, outbound network connectivity must be available.

If you need an outbound proxy, configure Anypoint Runtime Fabric to use a SOCKS5 proxy by following the instructions in Manage Proxies Used by Runtime Fabric.

To verify outbound network connectivity on Anypoint Runtime Fabric version 1.8.50 or later, ensure that each node in Runtime Fabric can send outbound TCP (Lumberjack) communication using port 443 to the following domains:

When you deploy an application to Runtime Fabric, Anypoint Monitoring is enabled by default. To disable Anypoint Monitoring, pass the following custom property when deploying your application:

Each Mule application and API gateway replica runs a metrics agent that collects and transmits metrics data to Anypoint Monitoring via secure mutual TLS encryption. Each replica can cache up to 100 megabytes of metrics, after which the metrics data is rotated to provide storage for more recent data. In the event that metrics cannot be sent to Anypoint Monitoring, this typically provides at least 4 days worth of storage per replica. Note that custom metrics might consume more storage.

Anypoint Monitoring provides access to log data for applications deployed to Rutime Fabric. To access logs with Anypoint Monitoring, you need a Titanium subscription.

Each Mule application and API gateway replica can store up to 450 megabytes of log data on disk, after which log data is rotated to provide storage for more recent log data.

Logs generated by each replica of a Mule application and API gateway are collected and written to disk on the worker node on which they are running. Each worker node runs a single log forwarding agent, which monitors this location and transmits the log data to Anypoint Monitoring.

You can enable log forwarding and set log levels when you deploy applications in Runtime Manager.

The daemon-set that forwards logs to Anypoint Monitoring expects application containers to write logs to the following locations:

The daemon-set also creates and writes on the host path /var/lib/filebeat-data. For log forwarding to work as expected, ensure that:

Anypoint Visualizer displays views of different aspects of an application network graph. You can use the graph to explore your application network, identify problems, and make decisions.
