Monitoring GitHub with Amazon Route 53

Integrating GitHub and Amazon Route 53 with your monitoring system

To integrate GitHub and Amazon Route 53 with your monitoring system, please reach out to MetricFire. Book a demo with the MetricFire team to discuss integrating GitHub and Amazon Route 53 and how that can support your monitoring system.

What is GitHub?

Visualize GitHub Events with Webhooks

MetricFire makes it easy to collect data from your repositories, and visualize GitHub events in the form of dashboard annotations. To enable our webhook integration, copy the webhook from Add-Ons => GitHub in your Hosted Graphite account:

 



github-webhook

 

Then add the webhook to your GitHub repo, in the ‘settings’ section => ‘webhooks’

 

github-webhook-config 



Now you can save, and your GitHub events will now be sent to the webhook URL and saved on your account as Annotations. Use the following tags to query the annotations you want to display:


  1. Push Event Tags – ‘github’, ‘push’, <repo>, <branch>, <user>
  2. PR Event Tags – ‘github’, ‘pull-request’, <action>, <repo>, <user>
  3. Deploy Event Tags – ‘github’, ‘deployment’, <status>, <repo>, <user>, <environment>



 github-annotation-config



Visualize GitHub Metrics using the Telegraf Agent

Additionally, there is also a Telegraf Input plugin for GitHub. This plugin will send a variety of metrics to your Hosted Graphite account for increased visibility into your repositories. See our handy blog article with detailed configuration instructions HERE, and the official GH repository HERE.

What is Amazon Route 53?

Collect and Forward Route53 Metrics from AWS Cloudwatch

MetricFire has an easy to use integration that pulls metrics from the Cloudwatch API, and forwards them to a Hosted Graphite account. You can configure this integration in a few simple steps:



  1. In your Hosted Graphite account, navigate to Add-Ons => AWS and +Add an AWS account by entering your Access key and Secret key.
  2. Now you can select which AWS services to pull metrics from, and even enable metric tagging (optional). Learn more about our AWS integration in the Hosted Graphite Cloudwatch docs.
  3. You can also name the account you've configured. This is recommended, especially if you are configuring multiple AWS accounts like dev, stage, and prod.
  4. Depending on your enabled AWS services and internal permissions settings, you might need to add our default AWS Policy to your IAM user to allow us to pull metrics from your AWS account.
  5. Metrics should be hitting your Hosted Graphite account within about 10 minutes. You can use these metrics to create custom Dashboards and Alerts, and you'll notice that some new dashboards have been automatically created in your HG account. We also have a handy AWS Overview dashboard that can be found in our Dashboard Library, which offers a great starting point.

If you have any issues with configuring this integration, or need to integrate with a service that is not currently listed, please contact our team. We will be happy to help you out, and develop new AWS integrations for you!

What is MetricFire?

MetricFire is a full-scale platform that provides infrastructure, system, and application monitoring using a suite of open-source tools. We will aggregate and store your data as time series metrics, which can be used to build custom dashboards and alerts.

Vendor lock-in's not our thing. We’re believers in you still owning your data, so you can request a full export at any time. That means you get all the benefits of an open-source tool, but with the security and stability of a SaaS tool.

“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.”
