Hi GCP Community,
I am using an External Application Load Balancer in GCP to handle WebSocket traffic for my application with backend service configured on an internet NEG
Question: I want to monitor and analyze the WebSocket traffic flowing through the load balancer. Specifically:
- Metrics: Are there any built-in metrics or logging options for WebSocket-specific traffic (e.g., connection count, duration, errors, etc.)?
- Logs: Does GCP provide detailed logging for WebSocket connections, or do I need to enable additional logging in the load balancer settings?
- Third-party Tools: Would integrating a third-party monitoring solution be more effective for WebSocket traffic, and if so, what are some recommended tools?
- Best Practices: Any best practices for setting up monitoring for WebSocket connections in this setup?
