Regardless of your preference for coding language, Docker can pretty much handle any of the most common frameworks. Docker is a great way to get your applications put into the cloud. Okay, let’s dive in and get some monitoring rolling! Getting your Application Docker Containers Set Up:įirst things first, we need an environment. Using tools such as Prometheus and Grafana give your SREs and DevOps folks further insights into what is happening in the environment your application is deployed in. Scout does a great job of letting your developers easily track down what is happening in your application. We are also going to use Grafana to build nicer looking graphs based on API queries from Prometheus. Having a very active community of engaged developers means finding help articles or guides is easy. Prometheus is a pretty ubiquitous tool in the monitoring space, it's pretty easy to spin up, and is open-source.

Coming back from Monitorama, I had a chance to sit back and start playing with some tools to see how they worked.
