Grafana Loki is designed to be cost effective and easy to operate for DevOps and SRE teams, but running queries in Loki can be confusing for those who are new to it. Loki is a horizontally scalable, highly available, multi-tenant log aggregation system inspired by Prometheus. It doesn’t index the content of the logs, but rather a set of labels for each log stream.
Each year of the SRE Report, there’s a trend or anti-pattern that leaps out and makes us pause and reflect. Last year, for example, we found a huge drop in global toil levels. With the whole world working from home for a full year, it made sense that global toil levels would drop, right? But this year, despite the great reopening underway, toil levels dropped even further - it's a paradox, one which no doubt will require its own scrutiny.
This is just a quick blog to draw attention to some new and enhanced monitoring dashboards we have added to eG Enterprise in the upcoming release (v 7.2) to provide quick and powerful overviews of a range of AWS services. As with all our dashboards, color-coded overlays provide guided drilldown for help desk operators and administrators. If a component has an issue, an amber or red indicator is overlaid to allow the viewer to click through to further diagnostic information.
Observability is a term that has gained a lot of traction in recent years, particularly in the realm of software engineering and DevOps. At its core, observability refers to the ability to gain insight into the internal workings of a system by observing its external outputs. This allows engineers to diagnose and troubleshoot issues with the system, as well as to monitor its performance and behaviour.
Microservices are a popular software design architecture that breaks apart monolithic systems. A microservice application is built as a collection of loosely coupled services. Each microservice is responsible for a single feature. They interact with each other via communication protocols such as HTTP.
A little over a year ago, we released Grafana Machine Learning, enabling Grafana Cloud Pro and Advanced users to easily view forecasts of their time series. We recently enhanced Grafana Machine Learning with Outlier Detection, which allows you to monitor a group of similar things, such as load-balanced pods in Kubernetes, and get alerted when something starts behaving differently than its peers.
