To integrate Kubernetes and Graphite with your monitoring system, please reach out to MetricFire. Book a demo with the MetricFire team to discuss integrating Kubernetes and Graphite and how that can support your monitoring system.
Telegraf is a plugin-driven server agent built on InfluxDB, and can be used for collecting and sending statistics from servers, databases, processes, devices, and a range of 3rd party technology platforms. It is compatible with most operating systems, and has many useful output plugins and input plugins for collecting and forwarding a wide variety of performance metrics. Follow these steps to get started:
Alternatively, you can configure the k8s_snap daemon inside your Kubernetes cluster to get your Kubernetes performance monitoring up and running with MetricFire’s Hosted Graphite, alongside all the other infrastructure metrics you need to monitor. Check out this informative blog article for details around using the k8s_snap daemon. As soon as your Kubernetes cluster is sending metrics to Hosted Graphite, metrics can be visualized in your dashboards:
Graphite is an open-source and highly scalable, real-time graphing system for time-series data. The metrics and data that you send to Graphite’s carbon endpoint are timestamped, and can be graphed using a basic dashboard interface. Graphite is an efficient method of collecting data, is well documented, and is easy to work with.
Hosted Graphite by MetricFire takes away the burden of self-hosting your own monitoring solution, allowing you more time and freedom to work on your most important tasks. You can measure, analyze, and visualize large amounts of data from your applications and infrastructure without the hassles of setting up your own servers, worrying about scaling, storing data, alerting, or maintenance.
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. MetricFire takes away the burden of self-hosting your own monitoring solution, allowing you more time and freedom to work on your most important tasks.
MetricFire offers a complete ecosystem of end-to-end infrastructure monitoring, comprised of open-source Graphite and Grafana. MetricFire handles the aggregation, storage, and backups of your data, and offers alerting, team features, and API's for easy management of your monitoring environment. You can send server metrics using one of our agents, custom metrics from within your application code, and integration metrics from a variety of popular 3rd party services that we integrate with like Heroku, AWS, Azure, GCP, and many more!
Our Hosted Graphite product has improved upon standard Graphite to add data dimensionality, optimized storage, and offers additional tools and features that provide customers with a robust and well-rounded monitoring solution.
“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.”
Monitoring SNMP devices is crucial for maintaining network health and security, enabling early detection... Continue Reading
