To integrate Amazon ElastiCache and Slack with your monitoring system, please reach out to MetricFire. Book a demo with the MetricFire team to discuss integrating Amazon ElastiCache and Slack 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.
Slack is a popular channel-based messaging platform that improves business communication and collaboration. This cloud-based solution offers enterprise-grade security and scalability, along with many innovative features that make it easier to have quality work conversations.
The core functionality of Slack revolves around chat rooms where users send messages and files. You can organize these rooms by topics, teams, projects, office locations, and other categories to keep the discussions highly relevant to that work. Users can also directly message each other. In addition to text messages, voice, screen sharing, and video chats are also supported.
You have a lot of flexibility in working with Slack. Your channels can be open to everyone in the organization, available for users outside of your organization, or made private for a subset of employees. A robust search function simplifies the process of looking up information, so it’s readily available. There is also an option of free-to-use and paid plans.
Slack workspaces create a central repository for work-related information, whether that’s being shared in messages, file attachments, links, or other formats. Slack performance monitoring allows you to see how your organization is utilizing this platform, whether it’s having issues, and ways to optimize it for your specific use cases.
One of Slack’s strengths is its integration support with many software types, allowing you to perform your work without leaving the workspace. For example, when you connect MetricFire and Slack, you can send immediate notifications to a specific channel so the right staff members see it. Since the alerts show up in a centralized communications tool being used for other daily work activities, they get noticed and acted on faster.

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
