To integrate Amazon EBS and Pingdom with your monitoring system, please reach out to MetricFire. Book a demo with the MetricFire team to discuss integrating Amazon EBS and Pingdom 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.
Pingdom is a monitoring system that uses both synthetic and real user monitoring to deliver enhanced app and website troubleshooting.
Pingdom's synthetic monitoring allows you to simulate visitor interaction with your website or app to spot app errors or website failures before your users do. You can monitor site uptime from over a hundred locations worldwide or troubleshoot your website speed and identify webpage issues. You can also test user transactions such as shopping carts, logins, registrations, and even URL hijacking.
Pingdom's real-time user monitoring allows you to monitor how your users interact with your website or app. Pingdom's real user monitoring (RUM) is fully scalable and intuitive. Learn how your users experience your site based on device, location, and browser. Ensure you meet your SLAs or KPIs by setting your own goals and monitoring your performance. Record and compare user metrics over time to see how your website performs over weeks, months, or years.
Digital marketers can use Pingdom's synthetic monitoring to test new campaigns and ensure their users have the best experience. They can use Pingdom's real-time user monitoring to review how different user experience aspects, such as browser type or device, affect sales.
Web developers can test for website or app performance and spot defects while updates are in development. Web host providers can monitor performance in real-time to ensure client uptime. IT/Web Ops can use synthetic monitoring to quickly identify bottlenecks and spot backend issues with Pingdom's real-time user monitoring.
With MetricFire, you can amplify Pingdom's synthetic and real-time user monitoring. By integrating Pingdom with the MetricFire platform, you can display your metrics on aesthetically pleasing dashboards. With MetricFire, you can quickly understand complex websites at a glance or compare your Pingdom data with other monitoring systems.

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
