To integrate papertrail and circleci with your monitoring system, please reach out to MetricFire. Book a demo with the MetricFire team to discuss integrating papertrail and circleci and how that can support your monitoring system.
No matter your business, all the hardware and applications you use will generate copious amounts of log data. But identifying and fixing issues identified in these logs can sometimes feel like finding a needle in a haystack. That's where a log aggregation service, such as Splunk, Sentry, or Loggly, can be essential for the efficient running of your technology systems.
Papertrail, for example, is a cloud-hosted service that makes log management easy. The service aggregates all your text log files, system logs, and app logs in a single place. With Papertrail, you can view your logs in real-time using a browser, command line, or API interface. You may search your logs in seconds, plus set up alerts to monitor all your important log events.
The hosted service is quick to set up and easy to implement; you can typically install Papertrail across all your systems in minutes. Your less technically skilled staff may view logs without SSH/RDP knowledge or access.
Papertrail aggregates logs for various systems and services, including:
Papertrail log velocity analytics lets you troubleshoot issues. For example, Papertrail can help identify a spike in log entries over a few minutes or monitor log trends over the last two weeks. With Metricfire, you can turbocharge Papertrail log monitoring services to new levels. By integrating Papertrail with the Metricfire platform, you may enjoy metrics displayed on aesthetically pleasing dashboards. All you need to get started are accounts on Papertrail and Hosted Graphite.
Our integration lets you view metrics on essential systems and application log messages on your Hosted Graphite graphs and dashboards. For example, you may receive an insightful Papertrail alert that watches failed deployments and viewable alongside metric changes in Hosted Graphite. By using Metricfire's Hosted Graphite integration, users can look forward to fuss-free monitoring across all Papertrail alerts.
CircleCI is a continuous integration and delivery platform (CI/CD) that you can install in a private cloud or data centers.
After you authorize a software repository, such as GitHub or Bitbucket, as a project on circleci.com, every code change you make triggers automated tests in a clean container or VM. After the tests are complete, CircleCI notifies you via email of successes and failures.
You can configure CircleCI to deploy code to various environments, including AWS CodeDeploy, AWS EC2 Container Service (ECS), AWS S3, Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Microsoft Azure, and Heroku. You can deploy other cloud services using SSH or by installing the service's API client with your job configuration.
To get your webhook URL from Hosted Graphite - Simply click the “Copy CircleCI webhook URL” button on the add-ons page, and add the URL to your circle configuration.
To see the annotations on your graph, enable them in your dashboard settings and they will appear on your graph:
System administrators can gather metrics for monitoring their CircleCI installation for various environment variables, including installed Nomad clients and Docker metrics. Metrics collected by CircleCI include basic information, such as CPU or memory usage, and more advanced metrics, such as the number of executed builds or the number of internal errors. By recording and analyzing metrics, you can quickly detect incidents and abnormal behavior, retroactively understand infrastructure-wide issues, and scale computing resources dynamically.
With MetricFire, you can turbocharge your CircleCI monitoring to a new level. One useful method of monitoring the changes in your codebase is by adding annotations whenever your tests run. For example, by adding CircleCI annotations to your MetricFire graphs using a webhook, you can keep track of which passed tests have affected your system performance (negatively or positively). This method can help you prioritize what to fix first, as a highly negative impact should have top priority.

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 a complete ecosystem of end-to-end infrastructure monitoring, comprised of open-source Graphite and popular dashboards. Plugins for many other open-source projects are preconfigured, such as StatsD, collectd, and more. Not only does MetricFire fit well into many monitoring use cases, such as server monitoring, but we also offer application and cloud infrastructure monitoring.
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.
Benefits of Using MetricFire:
Adapting cloud infrastructure can transform the way your organization operates, enabling scalability, cost-efficiency, and... Continue Reading
