To integrate Heroku and MetricFire, please reach out to MetricFire. Book a demo with the MetricFire team to discuss integrating Heroku and MetricFire, and see how that benefits your monitoring system.
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:
Heroku is Infrastructure as a Service that was built with developers in mind. It is a Platform as a Service used to host applications, and it was originally built for Ruby language. It has since expanded from just Ruby to Java, Node.js, Scala, Clojure, Python, PHP, and Go.
Not only does Heroku offer server, network and general computation - it offers everything a developer needs to get straight to building their app.
Heroku is able to scale instantly, both vertically and horizontally. Heroku provides code rollback, allowing you to roll back your code to a previous version instantly. Heroku integrates with GitHub so that any repo can be set to auto-deploy in Heroku.
Heroku offers Postgres(SQL) as a Service, as well as Add-ons built by both Heroku and 3rd parties to make sure you have every tool you need. In the Heroku Add-ons store, you can get everything from performance monitoring and data stores to development tools, search, and more.
To monitor your Heroku apps, you can easily integrate your Heroku app with MetricFire. The MetricFire Heroku monitoring add-on surpasses the default Heroku monitoring tool by allowing users to customize graphs feely. In MetricFire, users can select very granular time frames and zoom into their data. The default Heroku monitoring tool is unable to display very granular information over a long period of time.
Also, MetricFire has automatically generated dashboards specifically designed for Heroku apps. Once you have set up the MetricFire integration with Heroku, you will be able to see your automatically generated dashboards tailored to your Heroku app.
In your automatically generated dashboard for Heroku you can see dyno metrics for Load Average, Memory and Swap, as well as all of your HTTP metrics. With a few custom metrics, you can easily monitor your business metrics and app performance as well. Monitor your Heroku app with MetricFire today!

“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.”
