Good – we learned how to launch Loki – Grafana Loki: architecture and running in Kubernetes with AWS S3 storage and bolted-shipper, we also figured out how to configure alerts – Grafana Loki: alerts from the Loki Ruler and labels from logs. Now it’s time to figure out what we can do in Loki using… Read More »
For general information on Grafana Loki, see the Grafana Loki: architecture and running in Kubernetes with AWS S3 storage and boltdb-shipper. Among other services that make up Loki, there is a separate service called ruler that is responsible for working with alerts that can be generated directly from logs. The idea is very simple:… Read More »
Prometheus has many ready-to-use exporters, but sometimes you may need to collect your own metrics. For this, Prometheus provides client libraries that we can use to generate metrics with the necessary labels. Such an exporter can be included directly in the code of your application, or it can be run as a separate service that will poll… Read More »
The very useful thing is to monitor how efficiently the cluster is being used, especially if applications are deployed by developers who do not delve into requests much and set inflated values ”in reserve”. A reserve, of course, is needed – but simply requesting resources is a bad idea. For example, you have a… Read More »

Among other components of the Loki, there is a separate service called ruler that is responsible for working with alerts that can be generated directly from logs.

The last time I worked with Loki when it was still in Beta, and it looked much simpler then than it does now. In the new project, there is no logging system at all, and since we all love the Grafana stack, we also decided to use Loki for logging. Although to be honest,… Read More »
The blackbox-exporter is an exporter that can monitor various endpoints – URLs on the Internet, your LoadBalancers in AWS, or Services in a Kubernetes cluster, such as MySQL or PostgreSQL databases. Blackbox Exporter can give you HTTP response time statistics, response codes, information on SSL certificates, etc. What are we going to do in this… Read More »
So, we’ve launched Druid, see Apache Druid: Overview, Running in Kubernetes, and Monitoring with Prometheus . So far, a local Apache Derby database is used as the default storage for metadata . Next, we will switch Druid to PostgreSQL, and later we will remove ZooKeeper from the cluster setup. To begin with, let’s start a PostgreSQL cluster in Kubernetes,… Read More »
Apache Druid is a columnar database, focused on working with large amounts of data, combining the features and benefits of Time-Series Database, Data Warehouse, and a search engine. The general task is to set up monitoring of the Druid cluster in Kubernetes, so at first, we will see what it is in general and how… Read More »
AWS VPC Flow Logs allow you to log traffic information between network interfaces in a VPC. Further, these logs can be stored in AWS S3 or sent to AWS CloudWatch Logs, while enabling traffic logging does not affect the performance of the network interface in any way. Let’s briefly review the basic concepts, and… Read More »
