To integrate circleci and Pingdom with your monitoring system, reach out to MetricFire. Book a demo with the MetricFire team to discuss integrating circleci and Pingdom and how that can support your monitoring system.
CircleCI is a continuous integration and delivery platform (CI/CD) that you can install in a private cloud or data centers.
After you authorize a software repository, such as GitHub or Bitbucket, as a project on circleci.com, every code change you make triggers automated tests in a clean container or VM. After the tests are complete, CircleCI notifies you via email of successes and failures.
You can configure CircleCI to deploy code to various environments, including AWS CodeDeploy, AWS EC2 Container Service (ECS), AWS S3, Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Microsoft Azure, and Heroku. You can deploy other cloud services using SSH or by installing the service's API client with your job configuration.
System administrators can gather metrics for monitoring their CircleCI installation for various environment variables, including installed Nomad clients and Docker metrics. Metrics collected by CircleCI include basic information, such as CPU or memory usage, and more advanced metrics, such as the number of executed builds or the number of internal errors. By recording and analyzing metrics, you can quickly detect incidents and abnormal behavior, retroactively understand infrastructure-wide issues, and scale computing resources dynamically.
With MetricFire, you can turbocharge your CircleCI monitoring to a new level. One useful method of monitoring the changes in your codebase is by adding annotations whenever your tests run. For example, by adding CircleCI annotations to your MetricFire graphs using a webhook, you can keep track of which passed tests have affected your system performance (negatively or positively). This method can help you prioritize what to fix first, as a highly negative impact should have top priority.
Pingdom is a monitoring system that uses both synthetic and real user monitoring to deliver enhanced app and website troubleshooting.
Pingdom's synthetic monitoring allows you to simulate visitor interaction with your website or app to spot app errors or website failures before your users do. You can monitor site uptime from over a hundred locations worldwide or troubleshoot your website speed and identify webpage issues. You can also test user transactions such as shopping carts, logins, registrations, and even URL hijacking.
Pingdom's real-time user monitoring allows you to monitor how your users interact with your website or app. Pingdom's real user monitoring (RUM) is fully scalable and intuitive. Learn how your users experience your site based on device, location, and browser. Ensure you meet your SLAs or KPIs by setting your own goals and monitoring your performance. Record and compare user metrics over time to see how your website performs over weeks, months, or years.
Digital marketers can use Pingdom's synthetic monitoring to test new campaigns and ensure their users have the best experience. They can use Pingdom's real-time user monitoring to review how different user experience aspects, such as browser type or device, affect sales.
Web developers can test for website or app performance and spot defects while updates are in development. Web host providers can monitor performance in real-time to ensure client uptime. IT/Web Ops can use synthetic monitoring to quickly identify bottlenecks and spot backend issues with Pingdom's real-time user monitoring.
With MetricFire, you can amplify Pingdom's synthetic and real-time user monitoring. By integrating Pingdom with the MetricFire platform, you can display your metrics on aesthetically pleasing dashboards. With MetricFire, you can quickly understand complex websites at a glance or compare your Pingdom data with other monitoring systems.

MetricFire is a full-scale platform that offers infrastructure, system, and application monitoring using a suite of open-source monitoring tools. The platform allows you to use Hosted Graphite and Dashboards-as-a-Service to visualise your metrics on aesthetic dashboards.
MetricFire offers its users a complete ecosystem of end-to-end infrastructure monitoring, which is made up of popular open-source monitoring software services: Graphite, and Grafana. As well, plugins for a number of 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 works to boost 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:

“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.”
