Processing Metrics, Logs and Traces at Scale – DevOps Talk

If topics like performance monitoring and processing metrics, log management, and distributed transaction tracing — at scale, no less! — interest you, then you’ll want to check out what Sematext founder Otis Gospodnetić had to say at this week’s DevOps Summit in New York City.

Talk Summary

Application metrics, logs, and business KPIs are a goldmine. It’s easy to get started with the ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana) — you can see lots of people coming up with impressive dashboards, in less than a day, with no previous experience. Going from proof-of-concept to production tends to be a bit more difficult, unfortunately, and it tends to gobble up our attention, time, and money. In this talk Otis shared the architecture and decisions behind our services for handling large volumes of performance metrics, traces, logs, anomaly detection, alerts, etc.  He followed data from its sources, its collection, aggregation, storage, and visualization. The talk also covered the overview of some of the relevant technologies and their strengths and weaknesses, such as HBase, Elasticsearch and Kafka.
