To integrate Amazon EBS and Amazon Route 53 with your monitoring system, please reach out to MetricFire. Book a demo with the MetricFire team to discuss integrating Amazon EBS and Amazon Route 53 and how that can support your monitoring system.
Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) is a block-storage service designed for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). It is designed to scale for and support both throughput and transaction-intensive workloads. Amazon EBS is used to deploy a wide range of workloads, including relational and non-relational databases, enterprise applications, big data analytics engines, file systems, containerized applications, and media workflows.
Amazon EBS the perfect block-storage service for mission-critical systems and can easily scale to petabytes of data.
EBS volumes behave like raw, unformatted block devices that you can mount as devices. You can install a file system on top of your EBS volumes or use them in any way you would use any other block device. You can use EBS volumes as the primary storage for file systems, databases, or any applications requiring access to raw, unformatted, block-level storage. It's also useful for database-style applications that rely on random reads and writes.
Amazon EBS is a great tool for testing, allowing you to duplicate and test your development or production environments. Plus, you can copy Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) or EBS Snapshots to run applications in different AWS regions, allowing you to backup data across geographies and help you reduce data loss, and increase data recovery times.
Amazon Elastic Block Store sends data points to Amazon CloudWatch, including volume metrics and fast snapshot restore metrics, which is where a MetricFire integration comes to the fore.
With Metricfire, you can turbocharge your Amazon Elastic Block Store 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 your block store is doing something it shouldn't.
Amazon Route 53 is a cloud-based domain name system (DNS) web service that you can use to connect user requests to applications running in AWS, such as Amazon S3 buckets and Amazon EC2. Route 53 is highly scalable with high availability and can also be used to route users to infrastructures outside of AWS, such as a web server or a data aggregator like Splunk. It provides businesses and developers a cost-effective and reliable tool to route end users to internet applications by translating domain names into numeric IP addresses.
Route 53 comes with a simple set of APIs that you can use to create and manage DNS records for your domains. Route 53 organizes your DNS records into "hosted zones" that you configure with Route 53's API.
With Amazon Route 53 Traffic, you can manage traffic globally using various routing types, including Geo DNS, Geoproximity, Latency Based Routing and Weighted Round Robin. You can combine these routing types with DNS Failover to enable low-latency, fault-tolerant architectures. Using Amazon Route 53 Traffic Flow's simple visual editor, you can easily manage how you route your end-users to your application's endpoints.
You can use Amazon Route 53 to configure DNS health checks to route traffic to healthy endpoints or independently monitor your application's health and its endpoints. Monitoring DNS health checks is where MetricFire can help you manage your DNS routing using Amazon Route 53.

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 your DNS routing is doing something it shouldn't.
To integrate Amazon EBS and Amazon Route 53 with your monitoring system, sign up for a free trial with MetricFire. Talk with the MetricFire team about how to integrate Amazon EBS and Amazon Route 53 and get Amazon EBS and Amazon Route 53 interacting with your MetricFire dashboards directly.
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:
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:
“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.”
In this article, we’ll discuss what can go wrong with our machine-learning model after... Continue Reading
