Monitoring Kubernetes with Prometheus + Long Term Storage

Running an online service isn't easy. Every day you make complex decisions about how to solve problems and often there is no right or wrong answer, there are just different ways with different results. On the infrastructure side you have to weigh up where everything will be hosted. Is that on a cloud service like AWS, or in your own data centres, or any number of other options, perhaps even a mix.

Monitoring choices are equally hard. There are the tools that are familiar and a known quantity, some new ones that look interesting from reading blogs, and then the option to buy one of any number of SaaS products.

Let's imagine for the sake of brevity of this blog that you are looking to move into AWS from your traditional data centre and want to upgrade from your Nagios, Graphite and StatsD stack to something a bit newer. This is actually an incredibly common scenario that we see every day.

The first decision to make is to analyse up front whether to build or buy. To properly make that decision you'll need to

  • awsapi

Introduction

Welcome to the Dataloop API documentation!

To use the API you'll need an api key which can be created in Dataloop under your user account settings. When integrating services you may want to consider creating an application specific user in Dataloop with access to accounts at the correct role level.

You will also need to know the organisation name and account name that you want to work with. These match the organisation and account names in Dataloop. Use these details where you see <org name> and <account name> in the examples.

#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
from dlcli import api
'''
Returns a sum of the number of agents that have returned the base.count metric in the last minute.
You will need to update the TAG, org, account and key variables in the settings below.
