Tech Talk: Agentless Monitoring and Custom Monitors

In addition to Agent-Based Custom Monitors, OpsRamp supports agentless infrastructure monitoring to allow our customers to track the health and performance of network, storage, and virtual resources as well as platform as a service (PaaS) cloud resources. In this interactive session we'll dive into why this is more important than ever as organizations adopt remote work strategies and prioritize digital transformation initiatives.

HAProxyConf 2019 - Building a Service Mesh at Criteo with Consul and HAProxy by Pierre Souchay

At Criteo, we have been working on building a tight integration between HashiCorp Consul and HAProxy. In this talk, we will explain how we provision our HAProxy instances dynamically using Consul Connect, a new service mesh technology that allows HAProxy to talk to its peers from machine-to-machine without a traditional load balancer. We will detail how we are able to create a service with DNS, add load balancing, and configure SSL certificates in mere seconds. Since Criteo is working actively on enabling HAProxy with Consul Connect, we will explain the challenges of scaling Service Mesh architectures for large infrastructures.

Episode 10: Installing Redis from Ansible Galaxy

A pre-built playbook from Ansible Galaxy lets us easily install Redis. (Even we don't re-invent the wheel every time.) The Request Metrics application will use Redis as its main data store. We need to install Redis on our servers to find out if this is a good plan. Ansible provides a repeatable way of doing this configuration work.

This is great for preventing alerts from port flaps or CPU utilization spikes from being raised as Incidents. We call this functionality "Wait Rules" and this video explains how they work
