When monitoring becomes analytics

As systems get larger, monitoring your servers becomes a thankless (and often useless) task. What becomes more valuable is thinking about your monitoring task as an analytics challenge. What services do I care about? How do I abstract out of servers into thinking about the user experience? How can I relate infrastructure performance to business questions? These questions are the next frontier for devops analytics. We’ll cover these kinds of questions and more in this session, including:

• Moving to monitoring systems instead of servers
• Applying data science and statistics across operational information
• New ways to explore complex system data
• Bringing together metrics and events for a unified look at your system

We’ll not only take a look at a new approach to thinking about your data, but also new underlying technology to analyze operations data. We’ll cover streaming, in-memory computing, and dataflow.
