Abstract

Monitoring containerised applications creates a new set of challenges that traditional monitoring systems struggle with. In this talk, Aaron from Weaveworks will explore how we can use Prometheus, along with its integrations with Kubernetes and other open-source components, to observe services effectively and help extinguish fires when they occur. Using anecdotes from real product incidents, this talk will cover bringing together metrics from various exporters, creating alerts to proactively notify you of common issues and using monitoring to drive your infrastructure decisions.
