This presentation is aimed for operator developers that plan to add or want to improve their operator monitoring. We will present best practices and new tools that will help you get the best monitoring for your operator with a shorter and easier implementation.

All operators start small.

Usually the first metrics that we add, to a new operator, are the basic ones that help us in the development process. When adding the first metrics, developers that are not yet experienced with monitoring, might add metrics that would later cause issues. Like, metrics names that would need to be changed, metrics code that would complicate the core operator code, etc and the same for Alerts.

This presentation will help developers to avoid pitfalls when implementing monitoring to their operator and will direct them for best practices and new tooling that we added to Operator SDK to assist developers in the first steps in implementing monitoring.

In this session, participants will get an overview of the new oVirt monitoring feature with its data warehouse (DWH) and Grafana, architecture and demo. The session will also cover the option of creating new dashboards based on the oVirt DWH schema. For creating new dashboards, attendees should be familiar with SQL querying.

We think Metrics and logs are not that different. Do you agree?

This was our statement when searching for a unified monitoring solution with real-time analytics,

for the oVirt data center virtualization project.

This talk gives an introduction on how to integrate oVirt metrics with the EFK stack on top of OCP.

Attendees of this session will be able to get an in depth look into the stack architecture and ways to utilize it in open source projects.

Using Elasticsearch and its native visualization layer, kibana, we aspire to provide the oVirt project users a fully functional monitoring solution.

When combining this stack, built on top of OpenShift Container Platform (OCP),

with client side daemons such as collectd and fluentd, we get an end-to-end powerful open source solution.
