Microsoft Cloud App Security log collector + OMS = Docker container monitoring

Need a quick method to monitor Docker containers? How about monitoring the Docker container that is utilized for automatic log upload for Microsoft Cloud App Security? If so, try out Microsoft OMS Container Monitoring Solution to monitor your docker containers including continuous log collectors using Docker in Microsoft Cloud App Security! 

Did you know that Microsoft Operations Management Suite (OMS) offers many other management and monitoring solutions including update management for Windows, Surface Hub monitoring, Security and Audit information and many more. For more details please visit: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/log-analytics/log-analytics-add-solutions

If you’re utilizing Microsoft Cloud App Security in your environment today and would like to learn more about automatic log upload for continuous Cloud App Security reports please visit: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cloud-app-security/discovery-docker

 

The following walks through setting up the Container Monitoring Solution in Azure to monitor a Docker container used for Cloud App Security automatic log upload hosted on an Azure VM.

Requirements

Assumptions for this post

 

Let’s get started…

Here’s a look at the Ubuntu VM with Docker used for Cloud App Security automatic log upload:

If you have an Azure subscription log in, select “new” from the upper left, and search for “container monitoring solution”:

clip_image004

Select Container Monitoring Solution and Create to add it to your OMS workspace:

clip_image006

clip_image008

Once the instance of Container Monitoring Solution is added, sign-on to your host where the containers are deployed and follow the instructions to install the OMS agent used for monitoring the host: https://github.com/Microsoft/OMS-docker#supported-linux-operating-systems-and-docker

 

You’ll run a script that is discussed in the link above to install the OMS agent:

Once the installation in complete, navigate back to the OMS admin portal and look for a new tile called “Container Monitoring Solution”:

clip_image012

 

Select the tile and view the status of the containers on the host:

clip_image014

clip_image016

clip_image018

 

From the information provided, I can see I have a failure with my Cloud App Security Log Collector (i.e. I named the container “LogCollector”)

clip_image020

When we drill down into the failure I can see that the which container is failing and other details:

clip_image022

 

Monitoring Docker containers using Microsoft OMS as well as the containers used for log collection for Cloud App Security was really simple and I encourage everyone to deploy OMS today.
