CloudSherlock is an open-source troubleshooting and maintenance assistant for SREs and DevOps engineers. Built with Rust, it empowers teams to quickly gather vital information—metrics, logs, traces, OS configurations, user activity, and more—from cloud-based infrastructures.
Designed to accelerate incident response and streamline operational tasks, CloudSherlock aims to reduce downtime and improve system visibility.
- Metric Gathering: Collect key system and application metrics in real-time.
- Log Analysis: Fetch and analyze logs from multiple sources for quick issue identification.
- Distributed Tracing: Trace requests across distributed systems to uncover bottlenecks.
- Configuration Inspection: Inspect OS configurations and infrastructure settings effortlessly.
- User Activity Monitoring: Capture and analyze user activity logs for security and debugging.
- Multi-Cloud Support: Designed to work across popular cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP).
Rust provides a strong foundation for CloudSherlock because of its:
- High performance: Ensures the tool is lightweight and fast.
- Safety: Guarantees memory safety, reducing bugs in critical applications.
- Modern tooling: Offers a robust ecosystem for building reliable systems.
- Support for custom plugins
- Advanced alerting and notification system
- Seamless integration with monitoring tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana)
- Multi-cloud resource inventory and drift detection
CloudSherlock is in its early stages of development. Expect rapid iterations and breaking changes in future releases.
