To integrate Amazon RDS and Logentries with your monitoring system, please reach out to MetricFire. Book a demo with the MetricFire team to discuss integrating Amazon RDS and Logentries and how that can support your monitoring system.
The Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) is a web service you can use to set up and manage relational databases in the AWS Cloud. It provides a cost-efficient way to leverage fully managed and scalable industry-standard relational databases without the need to look after everyday database administration tasks.
When you subscribe to Amazon RDS, you get your own cloud-based server, CPU, memory, storage and IOPS, all bundled together. You can set up, manage, and scale each of these services independently. If you need more CPU or more storage, you can quickly allocate them. Amazon RDS manages your backups, software patching, plus it includes automatic failure detection and recovery. You can use different database flavors, including MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.
You can configure Amazon RDS for high availability and failover by setting up a primary instance and a synchronous secondary instance. Plus, you can control who can access your RDS databases by using AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) services to assign users permissions.
Amazon RDS is fully integrated with Amazon CloudWatch, allowing you to monitor your database's health and performance. By subscribing to Amazon RDS events, you can be notified about changes to a DB instance, DB parameter group, DB security group or DB snapshot.
More importantly, with Metricfire, you can turbocharge your Amazon RDS 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 a database issue is detected.
Logentries is a service that automatically collects and centralizes all of your log data into one secure location in any format. From there, you can search and visualize all your aggregated log data. It uses both agent-based and agentless collection of logs. If an issue occurs, Logentries shows an aggregated tail view so you can review what is happening across your logs in real-time. With Logentries, you can dramatically reduce the time you spend diagnosing and resolving issues.
Logentries is a fully scalable service that dynamically auto-scales your services environment as log volumes expand and change. By aggregating all your logs into one secure location, you can efficiently monitor and track valuable log events in real-time, without the hassle of complicated configurations.
Logentries lets you monitor and track essential server resource usages, such as CPU, memory, and network and disk usage. Plus, it aggregates all server and application logs. By aggregating all your logs in one place, you can quickly review your application performance metrics, usage trends, and application load. This strategy helps you better understand how end-users are using your applications and how their behavior might affect other performance metrics.
You can use your log data to better understand application activity from client-side front-end apps to your back-end components for fine-grained user tracking. And while Logentries offers a straightforward, real-time approach to monitoring and accessing valuable application usage data, there is an even better way to monitor your aggregated log data.
By integrating Logentries with the Metricfire platform, you can turbocharge your log monitoring services to new levels and enjoy metrics displayed on aesthetically pleasing dashboards. You can import Logentries data into Hosted Graphite using the leexportpy tool. This flexible and extensible Python application enables log search results to be easily exported to third-party services, including MetricFire.
To integrate Amazon RDS and Logentries with your monitoring system, sign up for a free trial with MetricFire. Talk with the MetricFire team about how to integrate Amazon RDS and Logentries and get Amazon RDS and Logentries 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
