In the rapidly changing world of technology, effective monitoring is critical for maintaining your infrastructure and ensuring it performs effectively. While traditional monitoring methods are effective, they can fall short as systems scale and become more dynamic and complex. This article aims to bridge the gap by introducing software engineers to the power of machine learning (ML) in infrastructure monitoring, outlining not just the ‘how’ but the ‘why’ of its application.

It’s easy to pitch technology buying decisions as black or white, where one camp is the promised land and the other is a dystopian wasteland where companies and profits go to die. But that doesn’t match reality. Instead, organizations need to balance technical trade-offs with their needs. So, while it’s easy to stand atop the “rip and replace” mountain and shout the virtues of your new technology, that’s not something that most organizations are willing to do.

In v1.30.0, Telegraf will remove a few long-standing deprecated plugins. These plugins have been deprecated for a number of years, and plugins with better support and configuration options now replace them. This version of Telegraf also removes a number of configuration options. The full list of deprecated plugins includes: Starting from v1.30.0 Telegraf will show an error message and stop running if any of the plugins or options are present in your configuration.

It's your data. You should be able to do whatever you want with it. However, vendor lock-in can trap your data in a single solution, making it extremely difficult to switch to something that better meets your needs. When your data goes in, but doesn't come out—that's a data roach motel. Open source technologies, and solutions built with open source tools, enable organizations to take control of their data, giving them the freedom to put it into and take it out of whatever databases or solutions they see fit.

Companies are committed to delivering on higher levels of customer satisfaction for their online services. Unfortunately, many organizations trying to support these initiatives take an interrupt-driven approach where they scramble to fix things when they break. However, to manage to these high levels of SLAs, you should take a structured approach in order to reduce the amount of unscheduled downtime by proactively monitoring and managing your systems.
