Custom application monitoring,
using the best open source tools
Use your favorite StatsD lib to generate custom metrics from your code and systems. We store them in your choice of metrics platform. As you'd expect, we provide Grafana for dashboards, and you also have the ability to configure alerts as needed.
As simple as any of these:
... where
metrics.incr("data_feeds.number_of_runs" + tags)
metrics.gauge("data_feeds.number_of_data_items" + tags, 317)
with metrics.timer("data_feeds.task_duration" + tags):
run_the_task(...)
... where
metrics simply points to our servers:
metrics = statsd.StatsClient(
"statsd.hostedmetrics.com",
48172,
prefix="your_api_key_goes_here")
