An introduction to Observability and how to setup a highly available monitoring platform, across multiple data centers. During this talk we investigate how to config a monitoring setup across 2 DCs using Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, Alertmanager and Grafana. Bram Vogelaar spent the first part of his career as a Molecular Biologist, he then moved on to supporting his peers by building tools and platforms for them with a lot of Open Source technologies. He now works as a DevOps Cloud Engineer at The Factory.

Loki 2.3 introduces the pattern parser. Patterns are way simpler to write than Regex. As an added bonus, it's an order of magnitudes faster than the Loki regex parser. This means that you can now query way more semi-structured logs (nginx/envoy/syslog and more) in less time than before.

The wide time series format was introduced in Grafana 7.5, and has been the standard for time series data since. This new format does not work well with older panels though. WTF? Learn how to spot time series format issues, and solve them. Presented by Stephanie Closson, Software Engineer at Grafana Labs at Grafana East Coast Virtual Meetup - August 2021

Identifying the right the right Service-Level Indicators is mission-critical for any SRE team responsible for meeting Service-Level Objectives and reporting on them. Find out how to sift through mountains of metrics and fill gaps in your data in order to visualize SLIs that actually matter for effective error budget tracking and actionable alerts in Grafana. Presented by: Jacob Plicque III, Senior Engineer at Grafana Labs at Grafana East Coast Virtual Meetup - August 2021

Grafana Labs is the open & composable observability company. In just over 6 years, our namesake product, Grafana, has become the world's #1 dashboarding service for time series data with over 6 million users. And we've been recognized as a leader in the space. Grafana Labs has built the world's first open & composable observability stack -- and it's natively designed for monitoring hybrid-cloud, container, and microservices environments.

Correlation between metrics, logs, and traces should be as effortless as possible. This helps you make better decisions and actions. The Grafana Labs open-source observability stack enables powerful correlations between your metrics, log, and traces. The key here is to have consistent metadata across the three pillars of observability. Let me demo you how this works in this video.
