Zabbix Conference 2014 - Eugene Istomin | Logitoring – log driven Metrics

Monitoring process is a particular part of IT. Most of metrics collected by monitoring solutions is just a representation of low-level OS/application statistics. When we speak about monitoring, for example, application response - the common way is creating some kind of synthetic responses and say: "Well, my app have no problems 'cos test response is in range of n milliseconds". But there are real user-side response time (and many more metrics) in app logs. This presentation presents you a powerful approach to make a log-driven monitoring infrastructure. Testbed: approx. 50 servers with erlang-based Zabbix client & log-driven approach.
