Netdata, Prometheus, Grafana Stack

In this blog, we will walk you through the basics of getting Netdata, Prometheus and Grafana all working together and monitoring your application servers. This article will be using docker on your local workstation. We will be working with docker in an ad-hoc way, launching containers that run /bin/bash and attaching a TTY to them. We use docker here in a purely academic fashion and do not condone running Netdata in a container.

Netdata Processes monitoring and its comparison with other console based tools

Netdata reads /proc//stat for all processes, once per second and extracts utime and stime (user and system cpu utilization), much like all the console tools do. But it also extracts cutime and cstime that account the user and system time of the exit children of each process. By keeping a map in memory of the whole process tree, it is capable of assigning the right time to every process, taking into account all its exited children.

Cycle's New Interface Part III: The Future is LowOps

We recently covered some of the complex decisions and architecture behind Cycle’s brand new interface. In this final installment, we’ll peer into our crystal ball and glimpse into the future of the Cycle portal. Cycle already is a production-ready DevOps platform capable of running even the most demanding websites and applications. But, that doesn’t mean we can’t make the platform even more functional, and make DevOps even simpler to manage.

Netdata QoS Classes monitoring

Netdata monitors tc QoS classes for all interfaces. If you also use FireQOS it will collect interface and class names. There is a shell helper for this (all parsing is done by the plugin in C code - this shell script is just a configuration for the command to run to get tc output). The source of the tc plugin is here. It is somewhat complex, because a state machine was needed to keep track of all the tc classes, including the pseudo classes tc dynamically creates. You can see a live demo here.

[Webinar] Unified container visibility: Managing multi-cluster Kubernetes environments
