To integrate Heroku with MetricFire, please sign up for a free 14 day trial. We want to fully understand your requirements and monitoring goals, so we can advise you on how to obtain better visibility into your infrastructure. Please book a demo with us so we can show you how quick and easy it is to get meaningful data into your MetricFire account, and use that data to build custom dashboards and alerts.

Forward Heroku Log-Drain Metrics to your MetricFire Account

MetricFire manages a Heroku Add-On that forwards your Log-Drain output to a Hosted Graphite backend. All you need to do is provision the Add-On from within your Heroku UI, or from within your Heroku CLI with a similar command:

heroku addons:add hostedgraphite -a <app-name>

MetricFire also has automatically generated dashboards specifically designed for Heroku apps. Once you have provisioned the hostedgraphite Add-On with Heroku, you will be able to see your automatically generated dashboards displaying data from your Heroku app(s):

Enable Heroku Webhooks to Send Event Annotations to Hosted Graphite

Additionally, you can create a Heroku app webhook in your Hosted Graphite account, and configure in your Heroku account to send annotations around your Heroku events, like when you provision Add-Ons or make a new deployment. Just navigate to Add-Ons => Heroku i your HG account and copy the webhook:

Now you can just copy this webhook and paste it into your Heroku account (More => View Webhooks => Create Webhook):
