Once the application is running, you can access it:
- Open a web browser.
- Type in the following address:
http://localhost:8000.
You should see a welcome page. This means the microservices are up and ready to use.
📊 Monitoring the Services
To monitor the performance of your microservices:
- Access Grafana at
http://localhost:3000. - Log in using default credentials (username:
admin, password:admin).
You can change the password after the first login for security.
🔧 Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues, consider the following common problems:
- Docker Not Running: Ensure that the Docker application is running on your machine.
