To integrate Heroku and VictorOps with your monitoring system, please reach out to MetricFire. Book a demo with the MetricFire team to discuss integrating Heroku and VictorOps and how that can support your monitoring system.
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!
Splunk On-Call (previously known as VictorOps), was created to make it easier for teams to manage their on-call resources. The moment something goes wrong, Splunk On-Call springs into action! Teams can receive context-rich notifications and collaborate to enable fast and efficient incident resolution with reduced downtime. Stakeholders can view critical incidents and the steps taken to resolve their issues.
The on-call experiences of both DevOps teams and clients become much more satisfying with Splunk On-Call. Its fast incident response features quickly deliver the right alerts to the right people reducing the time it takes to resolve incidents. You can integrate Splunk On-Call with your existing tools such as MetricFire to manage incident timelines and reporting for blameless post-incident reviews. As well as improving client incident resolution experience, Splunk On-Call's notification and incident management features reduce employee burnout. Mobile-first notifications and machine learning tools help make being on-call easy and accessible no matter where your team members are located.
Splunk On-Call comes with a range of incident analysis and reporting tools. With reports like MTTA/MTTR, Incident Frequency, and Post-Incident Review, teams can manage incident hotspots and improve incident resolution. You can monitor team and individual performance metrics, review incident frequency, and create reports for post-incident reviews.
With Metricfire, you can turbocharge your Splunk On-Call monitoring tools. By integrating Splunk On-Call with the Metricfire platform, you can display your 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.
