To integrate Amazon cloudfront and Amazon EMR with your monitoring system, please reach out to MetricFire. Book a demo with the MetricFire team to discuss integrating Amazon cloudfront and Amazon EMR and how that can support your monitoring system.
Amazon CloudFront is a fast content delivery network (CDN) service used to speed up web content distribution and is delivered through a global network of data centers called edge locations. These locations are proxy servers that cache content so that when a user requests to view some content, the request is routed to the quickest edge location to help you deliver your content with the best possible performance.
By routing each user request through the AWS backbone network, CloudFront speeds up distributing your content by sourcing it from the edge location best suited to serve your content. With edge servers located across six continents, there is always an edge location ready to deliver your customers fast content.
By taking advantage of the AWS network, Amazon CloudFront dramatically reduces the number of networks that your user requests pass through, improving performance and achieving higher data transfer rates. Amazon CloudFront can help you speed up static website content delivery, encrypt specific fields at add field-level security, provide live streaming video or serve video on demand.
For example, if you produce your content in Europe but want to deliver fast content to South American users, you can use Amazon CloudFront to cache your content on the nearest edge location for South American clients. When a user from, say Brazil, accesses your content, they are directed to the South American edge server.
Amazon CloudFront is fully integrated with Amazon CloudWatch, and automatically publishes six operational metrics per distribution, which is where MetricFire comes into play.
With Metricfire, you can turbocharge your Amazon CloudWatch monitoring services. By integrating Amazon CloudWatch with the Metricfire platform, you can display your metrics on aesthetically pleasing dashboards. MetricFire's advanced filtering lets you choose only the data views you want to see and discard the rest. You can also set up simple rules to discard data you no longer keep, plus receive alerts via email or Slack when a distribution issue is detected.
Amazon Elastic MapReduce (EMR) is an Amazon Web Services (AWS) tool designed for big data processing and analysis. EMR is based on the Java-based programming framework Apache Hadoop, which supports the processing of large data sets in a distributed computing environment. MapReduce is a software framework that works by enabling developers to write programs that process vast amounts of unstructured data in parallel over a distributed cluster of processors.
EMR is used to analyze data in log analysis, data warehousing, web indexing, machine learning, financial analysis, scientific simulation, bioinformatics, among many other uses. Amazon EMR also supports workloads that are based on Apache Spark, Presto, and Apache HBase.
Amazon EMR can also be used to transform and move large amounts of data into and out of other AWS databases.
Amazon EMR has a number of benefits, including:
Monitoring Amazon EMR clusters is key to detecting critical issues with real-time applications and identifying the root causes ASAP. When you do performance monitoring, you can track how the clusters are used over time. This insight allows teams to find potential bottlenecks and optimization opportunities. Performance monitoring is your best bet to catch any issues as they happen and before they turn into major problems.
Did you know that you can integrate Amazon EMR with MetricFire? MetricFire provides a complete infrastructure and application monitoring platform from a suite of open source monitoring tools. Depending on your setup, you may choose Hosted Prometheus or Graphite and view your metrics on beautiful Grafana dashboards in real-time. Integrate with Amazon EMR to make the most of both services today!

MetricFire is a full-scale platform that provides infrastructure, system, and application monitoring using a suite of open-source monitoring tools. We enable you to use Hosted Graphite and aesthetic custom dashboards to visualize your metrics so you can understand what is happening.
MetricFire offers users a complete ecosystem of end-to-end infrastructure monitoring, comprised of popular open-source monitoring software services: Graphite and popular dashboards. Plugins for many other open-source projects are preconfigured, such as StatsD, collectd, and Kubernetes. You get all these within a hosted environment as a single product. Not only does MetricFire fit well into the infrastructure monitoring use-case, such as network monitoring and server monitoring, but we also do application monitoring and business intelligence.
Through this hosted environment, MetricFire boosts the unique features of open-source projects to give you more functionality than the original products. Below are some of the MetricFire features at a glance:
Cloud Monitoring
Hosted Graphite
Dashboards
The key thing to remember is that Hosted Graphite by MetricFire is more than just Graphite. Our Hosted Graphite product actually adds data dimensionality and better data storage.
The benefits of MetricFire are:
Simple, low-cost pricing
A structured pricing model based on unique time series metrics allows you to work within your budget. The predictability and transparent pricing allow you to keep your costs in check and plan for the future. 1 metric is 1 metric.
Easy-to-use dashboards
Easily share your dashboards with clients for free.
Responsive alerting
Alert notification integrations PagerDuty, Slack, email, and webhooks.
Freedom of customization
Custom metrics through your code.
Fantastic customer support
Highly available support is provided by engineers for engineers to get you set up quickly.
Enterprise-ready
Dedicated clusters for users that need their own environment.
“We now have over ten times the amount of metrics we started with, and on different accounts. One of the great things about MetricFire is that scaling to support this increase has been hassle-free, requiring no additional work on our side.”
“Building and managing an on-premise installation at this scale would require a lot of engineer time, especially in the first year...we use this engineering time to work on initiatives closer to our core business”
“There’s complete transparency with everything MetricFire do which means we can accurately predict what we’ll be spending and comfortably keep within our budget.”
"Every time I have a question, I get an answer from support after just a couple of hours. Their technical knowledge is excellent.”
