How to set up an open source database monitoring stack with Grafana Cloud

One of the great powers of Grafana is the open source community behind it — a community that provides a breadth of ready-to-use dashboards, plugins, exporters, and instructions that make a million tasks easier. The sheer scale of it all means whatever you need probably already exists somewhere. To illustrate this, I want to share an example of how to use these tools as a base for building a comprehensive database monitoring solution.

Enlightning - Instant Observability: Exploring the Magic of Pixie

Pixie is an open source observability tool for Kubernetes applications. Pixie automatically collects telemetry data, including full-body requests, resource and network metrics, application profiles, and more. Using Pixie, developers can view the high-level state of their cluster (service maps, cluster resources, application traffic) and also drill down into more detailed views (pod state, flame graphs) without having to modify or redeploy their code.

Exploring Application Performance Monitoring - Importance and Open-Source Options

For any digital business today, keeping applications running smoothly and efficiently is a no-brainer. Application Performance Monitoring (APM) is an invaluable process in that regard, helping teams track the performance and health of their software applications. APM involves the use of tools and practices to detect, diagnose, and resolve performance issues in real-time, thereby ensuring optimal user experiences.
