I'm one of the founders @ cloudkick, and our goal is to eliminate the hassle of setting up and maintaining your own monitoring install.
Nagios is difficult to set up and get right, we abstract away all the details and let you simply click to add more monitoring. Its simple and we worry about the scaling.
- rjurney 18y agoNow I'm interested. If you could give me really good graphs of different aspects of performance, of an entire hadoop compute cluster at once... perhaps by tying into hadoop... I would love you.
- trapper 18y agoExactly. I didn't think it was clear enough on the front page why you would choose this over any other monitoring solution.
- rjurney 18y agoI agree. If cloud monitoring charts as a service is their niche, say so. I'll keep checking back, and I'l buy once its further along.
- ddispaltro 18y agoIts definitely the first iteration of the service with many more to come. This is one of the most basic needs for any production system, the diagnostics side (alerts) and the preventative maintenance side (load graphs). So stay tuned.
- ddispaltro 18y agoWe have a bunch of interesting distributed computing problems we are solving in the pipe, so stay tuned. Nothing out of the box yet... Currently, we have a pretty unique graphing framework. Basically, you can plot any bit of data and send it back to the server, but the limitation is you have to launch the server through us. The feature will be added soon as available to anyone with a cloud server.
- rjurney 18y agoIf I have to launch the instance with you, that pretty much makes using it for compute clusters impossible. One launches those from a script at the shell.
