Real-time application monitoring Igor Afonov @iafonov
Background • SaaS application • 5 production servers (2 auxiliary
servers) • Everything managed by chef • Apache/Passenger/Rails/MySQL/Postfix
Metrics that matter • Server state • Application state
How metrics data is stored • Round-robin database • RRDTool
(C), Whisper (Python) (Minor offtopic)
Server state • Munin - storage and graphs • Monit
- alerts, basic rescue actions Shard munin-server munin-node Shard munin-node
Munin • Server pulls data from nodes • Gathers basic
server health data • A lot of custom plugins
Munin + Chef = — # Client config template munin_servers
= search(:node, "role:monitoring") <% munin_servers.sort.each do |server| -%> allow ^<%= server[:ipaddress].to_s.gsub(/\./, '\.') %>$ <% end %> # Server config template munin_nodes = search(:node, "munin:[* TO *]") <% munin_nodes.each do |system| -%> [<%= system[:hostname] %>] address <%= system[:ipaddress] %> use_node_name yes <% end %>
Application state • Subscriptions • Logins • Orders • Business
metrics • ...
Our setup Shard Monitoring Server StatsD Graphite Whisper Carbon WebApp
Shard Shard
StatsD • Lightweight proxy to graphite • 300 lines of
Javascript • Uses UDP (small size, non-blocking) • 10+ implementations • Simple protocol
StatsD • Count: counter:1|c • Measure: metric:200|ms • Gauge: value:9000|g
• Supports sampling • A lot of client-side libraries
StatsD StatsD.server = '178.22.33.88:8125' # increment counter StatsD.increment("users.new") # measure
task StatsD.measure("cron.#{task}") do task.run end # meta-programming - track subscriptions Subscription.extend StatsD::Instrument Subscription.statsd_count :subscribe, 'subscriptions'
Graphite • Python everywhere • Whisper - RRD, stores data
• Carbon - backend • Graphite - draws graphs, works with data
Graphite [stats] priority = 100 pattern = ^stats\..* retentions =
10:2160,60:10080,600:262974 (Storage schemas)
Problems • Basic UI • Complex installation and setup
telemetry.io • Fun project • SaaS application • Custom front-end
for StatsD + Graphite • Optimized for big screens (TVs) • Free • Maybe open-source
telemetry.io Client telemetry.io StatsD Graphite Whisper Carbon WebApp Custom Front-end
Client Client Client
Workflow • Get access token • Use one of available
libs or create own • Prepend token to metric name • Integrate into application StatsD.increment("#{token}.subscribers")

Implementation • Ruby on Rails • CoffeeScript • Chef (full
