The Open Source Monitoring Conference is the annual meeting of international monitoring experts, where future trends and objectives are set.
Learn which monitoring and observability solutions are available and how they can best be integrated with other tools!
The three-day event comprises up to four workshops on the first day, followed by 2-3 technical tracks on the second and third day.
The key to successful Chat Ops is to be able to identify the important information in a timely manner using the best communications channel for a team (which could range from Slack to a bespoke App), and then enable the ops team to take appropriate action.
The CNCF project Fluent Bit, has a number of core characteristics (event-driven and stream analytics features) that allow us to recognize critical events and event patterns as they occur without losing the benefits of traditional log analytics and observability tools.
Using Fluent Bit’s connectivity and extensibility allows us to spot critical events and immediately communicate with the right ops staff using social channels or apps in a flexible and versatile manner and return actions to trigger suitable Fluent Bit events. All of which creates the opportunity to react more quickly and even become proactive/preventative.
Over 20 years experience in software engineering, primarily in the defence domain at Thales. The last few years of this were focused on transformation first to containers then Kubernetes. After Thales I worked on the cloud native team at Couchbase, working on their Golang-based Kubernetes operator.
This included producing a custom Fluent Bit deployment for observability needs. Calyptia (founded by the Fluent maintainers) then approached me to come work with them building out their observability products.
