Introduction

Observability in security software is crucial, especially when this software might take important decision such as blocking IP addresses.

We attempt to provide good observability of CrowdSec's behavior :

  • CrowdSec itself exposes a prometheus instrumentation
  • cscli allows you to view part of prometheus metrics in cli (cscli metrics)
  • CrowdSec logging is contextualized for easy processing
  • for humans, cscli provides command-line tools to inspect and manage CrowdSec's behavior

Furthermore, most of CrowdSec configuration should allow you to enable partial debug (ie. per-scenario, per-parser etc.)
