In this article, we are going to look at the architecture of Apache ActiveMQ and how to monitor critical metrics of ActiveMQ using Hosted Prometheus and Hosted Grafana. If you would like to follow the steps in this blog, make sure to sign up for the MetricFire free trial. You can use Graphite and Grafana directly from our platform. MetricFire is a Hosted Graphite, Grafana and Prometheus service, where we do the setup and management of these open-source tools so you don’t have to.
Today, Logz.io is thrilled to announce that Prometheus-as-a-service is now generally available for anyone to try themselves! I’d like to thank the Logz.io village for executing a huge milestone on our quest to unify the best open source monitoring tools on Logz.io’s scalable cloud platform.

You need to be able to use the data that comes with observability — ideally in a way that helps your team troubleshoot more quickly and minimize or prevent downtime.
The rapid pace of updates and upgrades to operating systems, software frameworks, libraries, programming language versions – a boon to the future of fast-paced software development, has also come to slightly bite us in the back because of having to manage these very many dependencies with their different versions across different environments.
