Bosun: Technology Review · Matt Jibson
http://mattjibson.com/blog/2014/11/13/bosun-technology-review
Dev at Cockroach Labs. Pianist and organist. Is a monitoring and alerting system I have been working on at Stack Exchange. We started work on it about a year ago. I would like to discuss the technology choices made then, how they have fared, and which I will continue to use or stop using. Let’s go front-to-back. No pre-processor, just Bootstrap. I’ve been using AngularJS. And it appears they solve a lot of these problems, though I assume I’ll find similarly annoying things about it. I’m currently in the ...

Focusing on open source monitoring. Joining raintank. July 3, 2015. It's never been as hard saying goodbye to the people and the work environment as it is now. Vimeo was created by dedicated film creators and enthusiasts, just over 10 years ago, and today it still shows. From the quirky, playful office culture, the staff created short films. To the tremendous curation effort. Including monthly staff screenings. Engineering wise, there has been plenty of opportunity to make an impact and learn. At Vimeo I...

Practical fault detection and alerting. You dont need to be a data scientist. January 29, 2015. It's not all about math. When going from thresholds to something ( anything. More advanced, suddenly people only want to work with mathematical formula's. Meanwhile we have entire Turing-complete programming languages available, which allow us to execute any logic, as simple or as rich as we can imagine. Using only math massively reduces our options in implementing an algorithm. Ie assist the math with logic.

Practical fault detection on timeseries part 2: first macros and templates · Dieter's blog
http://dieter.plaetinck.be/post/practical-fault-detection-on-timeseries-part-2
Practical fault detection on timeseries part 2: first macros and templates. April 27, 2015. In the previous fault detection article. Macros which detect our most common not-trivially-detectable symptoms of problems. Bosun notification template which provides a decent amount of information. Dashboards and integration for further troubleshooting. As in the previous article, we focus on the specific category of timeseries metrics driven by user activity. Those series are expected to fluctuate in at leas...

Dev at Cockroach Labs. Pianist and organist. Esc: Embedding Static Assets in Go. With the release of Bosun. I spent some time making the installation process pleasant. This included embedding static web assets directly into the go binary. I have done this before with appstats. But wanted to see the current state of public offerings, and see if any fit my needs. I found three existing programs, but ended up writing my own. I wanted a program that:. Will not change the output file on subsequent runs. Go-bi...

Explore other Stack Exchange communities. Imagine if alerting was what you wanted it to be:. Every alert you received was actionable, and there were few false alerts. Notifications were actually informative. You received alerts in time to fix problems before they impacted your users. This isn’t the world we live in…. We accept lots of notifications from our alerting system that are not actionable. The notifications don’t tell us about the problem. We get paged when stuff is dead and not when it is sick.
