Consul monitoring tools
This text discusses various methods to access and monitor data from a Consul cluster, including running CLI and API commands, configuring sinks to collect metrics, logging events, and using browser-based UI or the Consul API. It also provides detailed instructions on how to use these techniques for troubleshooting purposes. The text emphasizes that while ad-hoc commands can provide helpful information about a Consul cluster, they don't provide comprehensive visibility into all of its metrics. Therefore, configuring telemetry sinks is recommended for more thorough monitoring.
