TOP MOST MONITORING TOOLS (OPEN SOURCE MONITORING TOOLS)

By -

Hey folks,

On the topic of monitoring, we have been discussing it for quite some time. I believe this is a good time to move on to some overviews of tools and applications.

But before I get to the topic, I would suggest reading my old blogs on monitoring so you can keep up with me on the topic.

Link: ALL ABOUT MONITORING (A COMPLETE GUIDE TO MONITORING)

Now, we all know what monitoring is and its importance, so in the market, there are numerous types of open-source monitoring tools are available, and we will discuss some of these here:

Monitoring Tools

1. Prometheus: 

Prometheus is an open-source monitoring and alerting toolkit. It records real-time metrics in a time series database (allowing for high dimensionality) built using an HTTP pull model, with flexible queries and real-time alerting. 

Uses a multi-dimensional data model with time series data identified by metrics name and key/value pairs.

2. Grafana 

Grafana is open-source visualization and analytics software. it is not essential where your data is stored, Grafana can be integrated from any source and queried, visualized, and explored. In plain English, it helps us to cover time-series database (TSDB) matrix data into beautiful graphs and visualizations.

Grafana dashboards are designed to bring data together in an organized and efficient way. They enable users to better comprehend their data using queries, information visualization, and alerts.

The tagline of Grafana: Dashboard anything. Observe everything

3. Nagios

Nagios is the best server monitoring software in the market, it is open-source software for continuous monitoring of systems, networks, and infrastructures (windows machines Linux machines, network devices, switches farewell, routers, etc). Nagios runs on plugins installed on your server which is connected with the host machine or any other server of your network.

4. Thanos

Thanos is the extension of Prometheus or scaling of Prometheus. it provides additional features over Prometheus like global query view, high accessibility (HA), Long term storage, downsampling, and affordable access to historical data in a single binary.

5. Cloud Watch

Amazon CloudWatch is a monitoring and management service provided by AWS cloud providers. it enables us to monitor applications, infrastructure, and services and use alarms, logs, and events data to take automated actions. it also helps to reduce the mean time to resolution (MTTR).

6. Data Dog 

Datadog is a monitoring and analytics tool for DevOps teams it can be used to monitor performance metrics and event monitoring for infrastructure and cloud services. it can monitor services such as servers, databases, and tools.  For metrics, companies used to buy a monitoring tool, and then for traces, they used to buy an APM tool, and then for logs a log management tool. 

All these different things were disconnected and didn't talk to each other but data dog is one of the popular tools which is bringing all of it together and provides all types of monitoring in a single tool.

7. Instana

Instana is a fully automated application performance monitoring solution for cloud-native, multi-cloud, and hybrid cloud applications. With a single agent of  Instana, we can fully automate application observability, delivering of context needed to take intelligent actions and ensure optimum application performance.

What is DevOps? Hey Folks, We live in an era where machines and their Intelengency rule over Human Efforts and make our day-to-day tasks easy. Where we are now completely dependent upon machines for any small or big task. So all the backend processes used in the working of any Machines, Applications, or Websites need to be real quick and fast. For example, you prepared an application or a machine but it's the hardware or just a view. What makes it run is its software (Soul of any Machines, Application, or Website). Now, what is Software? Software is nothing but a collection of data or instructions that tell the Application (Computer, Machines, Hardware, Website, etc...) how to work. Software Life Cycle..! Okay so now you know what is software, but every software is first needed to be developed according to the requirement, and then it goes for testing if testing is failed it again goes for the redevelopment once the testing process is tested successfully then i
