To integrate Amazon Streams and Amazon ElastiCache with your monitoring system, please reach out to MetricFire. Book a demo with the MetricFire team to discuss integrating Amazon Streams and Amazon ElastiCache and how that can support your monitoring system.
Amazon Kinesis Data Streams (KDS) is a data streaming service that is both scalable and durable and operates in real-time. It can capture gigabytes of data-per-second from hundreds of thousands of sources, including websites, databases, social media feeds, IT logs, financial transactions, and location-tracking events. Real-time analytics tools such as dashboards, anomaly detection, and dynamic pricing are updated in milliseconds.
KDS is based around a producer/consumer model. A producer loads data records into Amazon KDS. A consumer then processes the data records from the stream. For example, a producer could load web server log data to a Kinesis data stream, where a consumer can process and analyze the log data.
You can use Kinesis Data Streams to collect log and event data from servers, desktops, and mobile devices. You can then build Kinesis Applications to process your data continuously, generate metrics, populate dashboards, and aggregate data into stores such as Amazon S3.
You can create Kinesis Applications that run real-time analytics on high-frequency event data events. For example, you could write an application to analyze sensor data collected by Kinesis Data Streams to gain insights into your sensor data.
If you collect gaming data, Kinesis Data Streams can collect data about player-game interactions and feed the data back into your gaming platform. This strategy can help you design a game that provides engaging and dynamic experiences based on players' past actions and behaviors.
With Metricfire, you can turbocharge your data stream monitoring services. By integrating Amazon CloudWatch with the Metricfire platform, you can display your KDS 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 streams are doing something they shouldn't.
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.

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.”
