Doing Things Prometheus Can’t Do with Prometheus - Tim Simmons, DigitalOcean
The current Cloud Native Observability dogma is that metrics (and logs and traces) are “not good enough” and that this brave new world needs brave new Observability tools. This is false.
This session will focus on how to utilize Prometheus and friends to solve problems that are typically cited as limitations. This talk is for anyone interested in learning how Prometheus can solve the majority of your Observability problems, no vendor required.
An outline of this talk is:
- How to thoughtfully utilize existing Observability tools
- Deploying High Availability Prometheus
- Effectively interacting with high-cardinality data
- Long-term metrics storage
- Doing “machine learning” on metrics
- Handling thousands of alerts in a sane way ( / 1145790451129167872 )
- How to measure everything with Prometheus
- Fostering a healthy Observability culture with SLOs
