Infrastructure and application monitoring using Prometheus by Marco Pas

So you have deployed your application on your infrastructure, but how to keep an eye on it?

When applications are deployed you will need to find a way to gather metrics on the performance and health status. Examples are memory/disk/io usage, number of requests etc.

These metrics can be used to build health dashboards and trigger alerts when your infrastructure is not working according to your wishes.

In modern infrastructures tools like Docker bring additional complexity and headaches on how to monitor your containers and host operating systems.

This talk will introduce Prometheus and will show you how you can use it to monitor your container based environments, host operating systems, creating dashboards and set alarms. The tools that will be used are Docker, Consul, Prometheus, Grafana.

Great job on the presentation. It was very informative. I like how you went over all the pieces and demoed how they work together. I'll be trying this out at the company I work for.

I love Prometheus, but lately I have started moving my monitoring over to Probeturion. It started as a Black Box only monitoring system, but lately they are moving over to both black box and white box monitoring. Prometheus is going to be obsolete once Probeturion has fixed their white box features. It is by FAR more intuitive, elegant, feature rich and more professional system that is about to cover every feature in Probetheus without doing any local installment except for a tiny service that needs no configuration. Prediction: Probeturion will "kill" 90 percent of the montioring systems on the marked.
