We all know that SCOM is a monitoring powerhouse, but even the biggest SCOM fan can’t deny that the SCOM Console dashboards leave much to be desired. They might look colorful, but unfortunately there’s not much else they can do. You can’t drill down further into an object, and you definitely can’t correlate it with other data you might have on that object that could be related.
In a previous blog we learnt about setting up a Scalable Prometheus-Thanos monitoring stack. We also learnt about how we can cluster multiple Prometheus servers with the help of Thanos and then deduplicate metrics and alerts across them. MetricFire is a Hosted Prometheus solution, and you can use our product with minimal configuration to gain in-depth insight into your environments. If you would like to learn more about it please book a demo with us, or sign up for the free trial today.
MongoDB is one of the most popular NoSQL databases in the world, used by millions of developers to store application metrics from e-commerce transactions to hospital equipment inventory, from user logins to First World War diaries. MongoDB databases contain mountains of information that SREs, software engineers, and executives can visualize to run their businesses more effectively. Grafana dashboards are most effective when they are layered with context.

Prometheus is the cornerstone of many monitoring solutions, and sooner or later, prometheus federation will appear on your radar. A well monitored application with flexible logging frameworks can pay enormous dividends over a long period of sustained growth. However, once you begin to scale your prometheus stack, it becomes difficult to keep up with your application’s demands. Prometheus is an extremely popular choice when it comes down to collecting and querying real-time metrics.
In this lesson, we’ll learn how we can use Elasticsearch Hadoop to process very large amounts of data. For our exercise, we’ll use a simple Apache access log to represent our “big data”. We’ll learn how to write a MapReduce job to ingest the file with Hadoop and index it into Elasticsearch.
Logz.io has a comprehensive API that allows you to send and query logs or metrics easily. Now, that process is getting even easier for infrastructure monitoring. Logz.io has added support for the open source grafana API. In other words, you can use the OSS grafana’s integration within Logz.io.
Sleuth is a deployment tracking tool that gives you a deeper level of insight into your CI/CD workflows by tracking all of your team’s deployment tools from a single dashboard. Sleuth integrates with different components of your deployment pipeline and develops an understanding of your development processes. It can then automatically alert you as to when code is shipping, when manual approvals are needed, and when failures occur.
