Monitoring of infrastructure and applications is near and dear to operators, and a Swift object storage cluster is no exception. Prevention is always the best medicine, and one needs to know what the environment is doing and how it is doing at all times. Operators have many systems in place which can also monitor Swift as a means of learning from cluster behaviour and predicting issues.
This session covers several popular ways of setting up continuous monitoring of your infrastructure and using your preferred tools for real time alerts for failures and stress conditions is a requirement. In the past few years organizations have started to move from monitoring solutions that detect a certain state and alert on it, to more dynamic solutions like Nagios, Elasticsearch, Zabbix, Logstash, Kibana (ELK) stack and more. Attendees will see hands-on examples for how to monitor an existing Swift cluster.
This session is DevOps engineers or anyone who wants to learn more about how they can use their favorite tools to monitor Swift. The session includes real examples beyond just the theory of how monitoring can be done.
