Nonsense Networking: Tech Talk #8

Ever feel like getting simple data from your network is way harder than it should be? You're not alone. With so many devices, the amount of data can be overwhelming, making it tough to see what's actually happening. In this stream, we're breaking down the common frustrations with network monitoring. We'll cover: The SNMP Problem: We'll start with why the "standard" method, SNMP, is often a pain. We'll look at the challenge of finding the right MIBs and OIDs just to get tools like Telegraf or Prometheus to work.

Alerting Best Practices

A firing alert is like someone ringing your doorbell - it demands your immediate attention, interrupting whatever else you’re doing. It requires focus and a quick response. But imagine trying to live in an apartment where the doorbell never stops ringing. You could put in earplugs to block the noise, but that only masks the problem - it doesn’t solve it. On the other hand, disconnecting the doorbell entirely isn’t a solution either.

vmanomaly Deep Dive: Smarter Alerting with AI (Tech Talk Companion)

I was thrilled to host our latest tech talk, where we got to do a deep dive into vmanomaly with the best possible guests: Fred Navruzov, the actual team lead for the product, and Co-Host, Matthias Palmersheim. We covered a ton of ground, from high-level concepts to the nitty-gritty of configuration. For everyone who couldn’t make it, I wanted to share my personal recap of the most important technical takeaways from our conversation.

Scale Your Monitoring Solution With the VictoriaMetrics Ecosystem

When it comes down to scaling time series monitoring solutions things can get messy. That’s one of the reasons why VictoriaMetrics, a Silver member of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), started its journey some years ago. It is a simple, reliable and efficient set of Observability Solutions that's been adopted by many organizations. It's open source, with a strong community behind it, with enterprise and managed (Cloud) options for those who need support. VictoriaMetrics plays well with many standards, including Grafana and OpenTelemetry. Apart from that, in case you didn’t know, VictoriaLogs is the new kid in the block that's seriously outperforming other solutions. In this presentation, we’ll present the VictoriaMetrics Open Source projects and how they differ from other solutions, especially when it comes to scaling from single small setups to massive cluster deployments. Come learn how VictoriaMetrics projects can help to ease Observability!
