Here’s a quick look into new plugins and features we launched in Telegraf 1.15.

When you’re on call and get paged at an inconvenient time, you need to be able to quickly determine the seriousness of the issue and act decisively to reduce system downtime. But pager notifications often don’t give you the information you need to investigate an issue from your mobile device, meaning that access to a laptop at all times is a must.

Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose is a service for ingesting, processing, and loading data from large, distributed sources such as clickstreams into multiple consumers for storage and real-time analytics. AWS recently launched a new Kinesis feature that allows users to ingest AWS service logs from CloudWatch and stream them directly to a third-party service for further analysis.

Starting today with version 0.6.0 of the Node.js integration, instrumenting a Node.js app that uses Redis is much easier. In fact, we instrument it for you - meaning that if you use Redis in your own app, there’s no extra work for you, everything Just Works™ out of the box! 🎉

Netdata Cloud works differently from other monitoring solutions. Most solutions limit the number and frequency of metrics because they rely on architectures that aggregate data. Netdata Cloud, however, streams limited metadata from each node running the Netdata Agent, keeping you in control of the data on your systems. The advantage of this architecture is that there is no limit to the number or frequency of metrics, regardless of the scale or complexity of your IT infrastructure.
