Challenge
Photo Centers faced several challenges, including extensive manual effort required to analyze system activities, the lack of remote access to logs across all photo servers, and slow, costly error detection processes. Additionally, manual shutdowns of individual centers posed risks such as data loss and disruption of image orders. The absence of automatic system update capabilities further exacerbated operational inefficiencies.
Key goals
Reduce Manual Work: Automate data collection, monitoring, and reporting to eliminate the need for manual system analysis in each Photo Center.
Ensure Safe Shutdowns: Implement a secure, automated shutdown protocol for micro-service apps to prevent data loss & preserve the integrity of image orders.
Enable Remote Access to Logs: Provide remote access to logs across all photo servers to improve the speed and efficiency of error detection and resolution.
Improve Error Detection & Resolution: Enhance error detection speed and reduce costs using real-time monitoring and automated alert systems.
Solution
Centralized Logging System:
- ASP.NET Web Application acts as the core of the centralized logging system, aggregating logs from all micro-services across photo centers, regardless of programming language. It also gathers Windows system logs, including services, registry, event logs, and system information.
- Log Collection and Aggregation: Consolidates real-time logs from various micro-services into a unified repository, enabling efficient monitoring and analysis of system activities across photo centers.
Remote Shutdown System:
- ASP.NET Web Application: Manages the orderly shutdown of all micro-services per photo center , ensuring data integrity and preventing image order loss.
- Automated Shutdown Protocol: Executes a step-by-step shutdown, prioritizing service dependencies for graceful completion.
- System Update Automation: Seamless deployment of system updates.
- Data Integrity Assurance: Ensures all transactions are completed and data securely stored to prevent corruption or loss
