Monitoring is the most important aspect of infrastructure operations. Effective monitoring strategies help optimize infrastructure usage, improve planning, and resolve incidents easily. While monitoring preceded DevOps, DevOps has further transformed the software development process to the extent that monitoring has to evolve as well.

Kubernetes is now the industry standard for cloud-based organizations. Slowly, many enterprises and mid-level companies are adopting it as the default platform for managing their applications. But we all know Kubernetes adoption has its challenges, as well as its associated costs. How do we decide when and what to migrate to Kubernetes? Does migrating to Kubernetes mean overhauling all DevOps processes? Adopting K8S should not lead to an overhaul of your DevOps process - it should complement it.

In this article, we will examine a Kubernetes metrics server and its uses. We will also learn how to set one up and use it to monitor Kubernetes metrics. Finally, we will explore using Hosted Graphite by MetricFire to monitor Kubernetes metrics. To easily get started with monitoring Kubernetes clusters, check out our tutorial on using the Telegraf agent as a Daemonset to forward node/pod metrics to a data source and use that data to create custom dashboards and alerts.

Implementing a monitoring solution is no small task; with your company's data growing, it can feel impossible. Often, small teams develop their own monitoring infrastructure because it is more cost-effective than a platform. But when your business grows, your data does, too. Monitoring can quickly become a bigger challenge than a small team can handle, and some companies need more resources to hire a developer dedicated to their monitoring.

Kubernetes is used in production-level applications and software services to automate the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications - ensuring high availability and consistent performance across distributed systems. It enhances reliability through features like load balancing, self-healing, and rolling updates, enabling efficient resource utilization and orchestration in cloud-native and hybrid environments.

ZFS (Zettabyte File System) is a file system and volume manager that has robust data integrity features and uses checksums for every block of data, ensuring that any data corruption is detected and corrected. Additionally, it offers advanced features such as pooled storage, efficient snapshots and cloning, built-in data compression, deduplication, and high scalability, making it ideal for large-scale and high-performance storage environments.

CRMs are a valuable tool for businesses to organize their sales and customers. The benefits of having one include increased revenue, better visibility into accounts, automated tasks, and more. But, if your CRM needs to be fixed, it can create challenges for your business. CRM monitoring helps you fix problems before they become apparent. In this article, we’ll show you how to start with MetricFire.

Grafana Geomap panels visualize geographical data on a map, making it easier to see spatial relationships and patterns. They are useful for monitoring metrics across different locations, such as server performance or application usage in various regions. The panels help identify regional issues quickly, allowing for faster troubleshooting and response times.
