To integrate Amazon EMR and Amazon EFS with your monitoring system, please reach out to MetricFire. Book a demo with the MetricFire team to discuss integrating Amazon EMR and Amazon EFS and how that can support your monitoring system.
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!
Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) provides a scalable but easy-to-use elastic NFS (network file system) for AWS Cloud services and on-premises resources. It supports on-demand requirements to the petabyte scale. It is fully managed and can shrink or expand as you add and remove files. This high level of change removes the need to manage capacity to accommodate growth.
Amazon EFS provides parallel shared access to thousands of Amazon EC2 instances, allowing your applications to achieve high aggregate throughput levels and IOPS (Input/output operations per second) with consistent low latencies.
You can use Amazon EFS for almost any purpose, from small home storage to business-critical applications, including big data analytics, database backups, application development, testing, web serving, content management, media and entertainment workflows, and container storage.
You can monitor your Amazon EFS file systems using Amazon CloudWatch. Metrics include the number of client connections, the amount of data read or written, file system storage, and more. You can use your Amazon EFS console to display a series of graphs based on the raw data from Amazon CloudWatch. For more extensive monitoring, you would find MetricFire an excellent companion thanks to the more advanced features.
With Metricfire, you can turbocharge your Amazon Elastic File System 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, scraping the unwanted data. You can also establish clear rules to toss out data you no longer have, plus get custom alerts via email or Slack when your EFS files system falls out of alignment.

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.”
In this article, we will define what infrastructure monitoring is, the benefits of Graphite... Continue Reading
