As the first part of the three-part series on monitoring Apache Solr, this article explores which Solr metrics are important to monitor and why. The second part of the series covers Solr open source monitoring tools and identify the tools and techniques you need to help you monitor and administer Solr and SolrCloud in production.

As shown in Part 1 Solr Key Metrics to Monitor, the setup, tuning, and operations of Solr require deep insights into the performance metrics such as request rate and latency, JVM memory utilization, garbage collector work time and count and many more. Sematext provides an excellent alternative to other Solr monitoring tools.

Open source software adoption continues to grow. Tools like Kafka and Solr are widely used in small startups, ones that are using cloud ready tools from the start, but also in large enterprises, where legacy software is getting faster by incorporating new tools. In this second part of our Solr monitoring series (see the first part discussing Solr metrics to monitor), we will explore some of the open source tools available to monitor Solr nodes and clusters.

Whether an active member of the ELK community or just a happy user, you’ve probably heard of a recent data breach involving Elasticsearch. Indeed, not a month goes by where we don’t come across an article or research showcasing a set of sensitive information exposed on an Elasticsearch cluster.

I spoke at Container World 2019 in Santa Clara and shared insights on what LogDNA has learned in scaling Elastic Search using Kubernetes over the years. Here are some highlights from the talk and you can also find the slide deck below.

Recently Amazon launched Open Distro for Elasticsearch, a distribution of Elasticsearch with a number of additional features. The project was created out of concern that Elasticsearch was starting to include proprietary features, and that Elastic was straying from its open source roots.
