# Monitoring in ONEWEB

#### Overview

Monitoring is a critical component of the **ONEWEB Platform Architecture**, especially in cloud and distributed environments. Effective monitoring enables visibility into both infrastructure health and platform service behavior, supporting system stability, performance optimization, and operational reliability.

ONEWEB adopts the **ELK Stack** as its primary monitoring and observability foundation for cloud infrastructure and platform services.

#### Monitoring Architecture in ONEWEB

Within the ONEWEB Platform Architecture, monitoring plays the role of a **cross‑cutting operational layer** that spans across:

* Infrastructure components
* Containerized platform services
* Runtime execution layers
* Application‑level logs and events

By aggregating and analyzing telemetry data from these layers, ONEWEB enables proactive monitoring and faster issue resolution.

#### ELK Stack as the Monitoring Foundation

ONEWEB uses the **ELK Stack**, which consists of three core components:

{% hint style="info" %}
**ELK Stack** is a collection of open‑source technologies used for log aggregation, analysis, and visualization:

* **Elasticsearch** — A distributed search and analytics engine used to store and query large volumes of log and metric data.
* **Logstash** — A data processing pipeline that ingests, transforms, and forwards logs from multiple sources.
* **Kibana** — A visualization layer that provides dashboards, charts, and analytics based on data stored in Elasticsearch.

Together, the ELK Stack enables centralized logging, operational visibility, and diagnostic analysis across systems and applications.

#### What Monitoring Enables in ONEWEB

By integrating ELK into the platform architecture, ONEWEB enables:

* **Centralized log aggregation** across platform services and infrastructure
* **Operational visibility** into runtime behavior and system health
* **Faster troubleshooting** through searchable and correlated logs
* **Performance and usage insights** via dashboards and analytics
* **Security and audit analysis** through log inspection and pattern detection

This monitoring capability is essential for operating ONEWEB in production, high‑availability, and cloud‑based environments.

#### Monitoring Across Architecture Layers

From a platform architecture perspective:

* **Deployment Architecture** determines *where* monitoring data is collected
* **Container Architecture** determines *how* logs and metrics are generated and isolated
* **Runtime Architecture** determines *what execution behavior is monitored*
* **Monitoring Architecture** provides *visibility and insight* across all layers

This ensures that monitoring is not treated as an afterthought, but as an integral part of the platform design.
