To integrate Kubernetes and MetricFire, please reach out to MetricFire. Book a demo with the MetricFire team to discuss integrating Kubernetes 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:
Kubernetes is the most popular platform for managing containerized applications. Many big and small organizations today use Kubernetes to deploy their production services. However, even though it simplifies the production services deployment greatly, it also brings in its own set of complexities and challenges. Thus, it becomes very important to monitor the components which are running inside Kubernetes pods, services and daemons to make sure they are behaving as expected.
Unless you know Prometheus in and out, there are a lot of hiccups which are required to overcome in order to set up and maintain a scalable infrastructure. This can be challenging to maintain and use, not to mention expensive. Whenever possible it's best to leave this job to the experts.
It takes only a few minutes to set up a Snap daemon inside your Kubernetes cluster to get your Kubernetes monitoring up and running with MetricFire’s Hosted Graphite alongside all the other infrastructure metrics you need to monitor.
As soon as your Kubernetes cluster starts sending metrics to Hosted Graphite, metrics can be instantaneously visualized in your MetricFire dashboards which come as standard with every account.
To integrate Kubernetes and MetricFire with your monitoring system, sign up for a free trial with MetricFire. Talk with the MetricFire team about how to integrate Kubernetes and MetricFire, and get Kubernetes interacting with your MetricFire dashboards in minutes.
“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.”
