In Part 1, we looked at the key metrics for monitoring the health and performance of your HashiCorp Vault deployment. We also discussed how Vault server and audit logs can give you additional context for troubleshooting issues ranging from losses in availability to policy misconfiguration. Now, we’ll show you how to access this data with tools that ship with Vault.

In this series, we’ve introduced key HashiCorp Vault metrics and logs to watch, and looked at some ways to retrieve that information with built-in monitoring tools. Vault is made up of many moving parts, including the core, secrets engine, and audit devices. To get a full picture of Vault health and performance, it’s important to track all these components, along with the resources they consume from their underlying infrastructure.

An IP address conflict is a common network issue that occurs when two or more devices on the same network have the same IP.

“Cost” would seem to underpin almost every decision IT teams make. Sure, business requirements drive overall operations budgets, but it’s always in tension with decades-old certainties about cost.
