Monitoring VPC Health ​

Yellowbrick Data Warehouse running in an AWS VPC offers the following monitoring capabilities:

  • Health status in Yellowbrick Manager
  • Self-service diagnostics for administrators via Yellowbrick Manager
  • White-glove support for sending logs and alerts back to Yellowbrick
  • Default Kubernetes monitoring features supported in the AWS Console, including CloudWatch

Health Status in Yellowbrick Manager ​

Administrators with login access to Yellowbrick Manager can instantly see the overall health of data warehouse instances in both the Health menu and the Dashboard tab.

For example, the Health menu lists the status for all instances:

The Dashboard shows the health for the current instance:

One of the following health Status values is displayed for a given instance:

  • Healthy
  • Suspended
  • Down!

System Diagnostics ​

Administrators with login access to Yellowbrick Manager can go to Configuration > Instances tab at any time and run diagnostics for a specific data warehouse instance.

After selecting an instance, click the Diagnostics button:

A full diagnostics bundle is generated and uploaded to an AWS S3 "observability bucket" with the following naming convention:

s3://yb-cdw-observability-*

For example, for an instance named repl-1:

upload: ../../../../tmp/repl-1-diags-63.tar.gz to s3://yb-cdw-observability-0e95f79b1b65/persisted-logging-data/diags/repl-1-diags-63.tar.gz

If necessary, data warehouse administrators can make these reports available to Yellowbrick Data for assistance.

White Glove Support ​

To enable additional monitoring capabilities for Yellowbrick Data Warehouse, contact the Yellowbrick Customer Support team and request white glove support. With this level of support, you can give Yellowbrick personnel immediate visibility to logs, diagnostics, and alerts generated by your data warehouse instances.

Monitoring with AWS Tools ​

For general help with monitoring an AWS VPC directly via the AWS Console, log into the AWS account that you used to create the VPC and go to the following services: S3 (storage buckets), CloudFormation (VPC stacks), and CloudWatch (general monitoring tools).
