| So we just recently switched over to Wavefront from an aging Zabbix monitoring. We had tested and reviewed a few time series based monitoring systems and felt Wavefront was what we needed for Enterprise level monitoring. Some of the key items we liked were: * Able to consume millions of metrics per second. This is pretty huge. While we're not even close to that much (11k/s at the moment), we expect that number to triple or quadruple in the next year. * Fast. Wavefront renders graphs quickly. The ability to manipulate the data in real time has been impressive. * Feature requests. Wavefront has been receptive to ideas from their customer base. They even have a voting system in their community page if other customers like a certain request. * Support has been great. Questions on issues or general technical guidance has been handled quickly, within the hour. * Docker ready. Already using Wavefront with our emerging docker infrastructure. * Engineers are self sufficient. Before, Tech Ops had to do all the monitoring for new services. With technologies such as docker, our engineers are capable of setting up monitoring within the application to directly send to Wavefront. This offloads quite a bit of work from Tech Ops. No, I'm not affiliated with Wavefront. We just use their monitoring service. |
