A blog on monitoring, scale and operational Sanity
There's so many monitoring systems out there these days that it's difficult to figure out what's actually different, and what just has a different name or falls under a different concept. Let's look at the Graphite, InfluxDB and Prometheus query languages and see how the same ideas are represented in each.
I previously looked at how the Prometheus Python client can output to Graphite. You can do the same with the Java client, letting you instrument once and integrate with non-Prometheus monitoring systems.
Prometheus doesn't try to lock you into it's ecosystem - in fact it makes it straightforward to both get data both in and out. This reduces operational overhead and allows for smoother transitions between monitoring systems.
Many of the companies I talk to either want to move off Graphite, or are already doing so. Let's look at how to get your existing data that's going to Graphite into Prometheus instead.
