Monasca Bootcamp

In this sessions every attendee will download and use Monasca on their own laptops. You will learn by practical exercises how to configure Monasca to monitor your DevStack environment. Learn how to send metrics and logs to get acquainted with Kibana and Grafana to visualize your data. Finally, attendees will see how to use metrics and logs to create alerting rules, and how both of these entities can be correlated.

This lab session will cover the following topics:

  • Enhanced Monasca Horizon
  • Grafana for metrics
  • Kibana for logs
  • Monasca REST API (metrics and logs)
  • The Monasca CLI
