Viewing the NF Logs, Metrics, and Traces

Perform the following procedure to view NF Logs, Metrics, and Traces.

1. To view logs, do the following:
   1. Open the Kibana GUI that is integrated with Elastic search by using the Kibana URL.
   2. Provide the index pattern to scan the indices.
   3. Navigate to the Discover section to view the logs.
2. Import the NF provided dashboards on Grafana to view metrics, otherwise follow these steps:
   1. Open the Grafana GUI that is integrated with Victoria Metrics by using the Grafana URL.
   2. Navigate to the Explore section and provide Prometheus as data source.
   3. Search for the required metrics in the Search box.
3. To view traces, do the following:
   1. Open the Jaeger GUI that is integrated with Elastic search by using the Jaeger URL.
   2. Select the service name and operation that you want to view.

      Note:

      By default, Jaeger scans only the data of the past 3 days from Elastic search. If the data is older than 3 days, provide the --es.max-span-age parameter at the start of Jaeger. For example, --es.max-span-age 720h0m0s scans the data of the past 30 days.
