To integrate Amazon ElastiCache and papertrail with your monitoring system, please reach out to MetricFire. Book a demo with the MetricFire team to discuss integrating Amazon ElastiCache and papertrail and how that can support your monitoring system.
Amazon ElastiCache is an in-memory data store and cache that supports resource-heavy applications that require sub-millisecond response times. It delivers secure and fast performance by utilizing an end-to-end optimized stack that runs on customer dedicated nodes. Plus, Amazon ElastiCache is fully managed, including tasks such as setup, configuration, hardware provisioning, software patching, failure recovery and backups. ElastiCache supports two open-source in-memory caching engines which are named Memcached and Redis.
With Amazon ElastiCache, you can quickly set up and run many popular open-source compatible in-memory data stores in the cloud. Its fully scalable architecture lets you boost your existing databases' performance or build data-intensive apps by retrieving data from low latency and high throughput in-memory data stores. For this reason, Amazon ElastiCache is often used to improve the performance of session stores, gaming apps, geospatial services, caching, queuing and Real-Time Analytics.
One of the key features of Amazon ElastiCache is its scalability, allowing you to scale-up, scale-in, and scale-out to meet your application demands. It supports both write and memory scaling with sharding.
ElastiCache continuously monitors your data storage to keep your workloads up and running, which is where MetricFire comes to the fore.
With Metricfire, you can turbocharge your Amazon ElastiCache 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 data storage cache is doing something it shouldn't.
No matter your business, all the hardware and applications you use will generate copious amounts of log data. But identifying and fixing issues identified in these logs can sometimes feel like finding a needle in a haystack. That's where a log aggregation service, such as Splunk, Sentry, or Loggly, can be essential for the efficient running of your technology systems.
Papertrail, for example, is a cloud-hosted service that makes log management easy. The service aggregates all your text log files, system logs, and app logs in a single place. With Papertrail, you can view your logs in real-time using a browser, command line, or API interface. You may search your logs in seconds, plus set up alerts to monitor all your important log events.
The hosted service is quick to set up and easy to implement; you can typically install Papertrail across all your systems in minutes. Your less technically skilled staff may view logs without SSH/RDP knowledge or access.
Papertrail aggregates logs for various systems and services, including:
Papertrail log velocity analytics lets you troubleshoot issues. For example, Papertrail can help identify a spike in log entries over a few minutes or monitor log trends over the last two weeks. With Metricfire, you can turbocharge Papertrail log monitoring services to new levels. By integrating Papertrail with the Metricfire platform, you may enjoy metrics displayed on aesthetically pleasing dashboards. All you need to get started are accounts on Papertrail and Hosted Graphite.
Our integration lets you view metrics on essential systems and application log messages on your Hosted Graphite graphs and dashboards. For example, you may receive an insightful Papertrail alert that watches failed deployments and viewable alongside metric changes in Hosted Graphite. By using Metricfire's Hosted Graphite integration, users can look forward to fuss-free monitoring across all Papertrail alerts.

“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 will define what infrastructure monitoring is, the benefits of Graphite... Continue Reading
