May 19, 2020 By Grafana In Grafana
Do you ever feel like your systems lack unnecessary complexity and overengineering? This is the talk for you. Join me as I detail the creation of a Raspberry Pi-based desktop Kubernetes cluster in an attempt to overcomplicate the already complex world of stateless web application deployment. We’ll walk through building an observability platform using open source tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and Jaeger to keep a close watch on our tiny fragile microservices and then break them intentionally for our own amusement.

We have been utilizing Grafana at Whiting Oil and Gas for approximately three years. In that time, we have greatly impacted the way our field assets are managed through dashboards and alerting. Instead of servers and network data, Whiting is using the application to monitor oil and gas wells in remote locations. Historically, the energy industry has deployed very expensive tools to monitor assets and visualize data.

Building the Future of Icinga

May 19, 2020 By Blerim Sheqa In Icinga

When we started the development of Icinga 2 we had a clear picture. We wanted a great monitoring solution for small and large environments. Back then, we imagined Icinga 2 to be a scalable monitoring tool with a dynamic configuration, enriched with a slight and fast web interface. In fact, there were some more details to that. But let’s keep it short. We worked hard to achieve our goals.
