Review on Instrumental by Eric Speers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect tool for real-time monitoring of services / applications

The simplicity in setting up instrumentation points with filters that you can use at will without having it poll your application constantly makes this tool ideal even if we have only few nodes/services running! I wish there was some way other than "manual" setup where one could automate creation / removal rules so they don't need human intervention all too often (i know i've been asking myself how). It would be nice when adding new services just add them automatically into our graphite dashboard instead going through manual configuration steps each time - but maybe thats something already being worked upon? Would definitely recommend trying out their free trial offer first before committing long term usage costs especially once number start growing beyond 1000+ endpoints monitored by an agent node etc.. Monitoring infrastructure uptime across multiple regions & data center sites using Grafana instance spread accross both cloud providers AWS ECS Fargate Docker Swarm Kubernetes Engine Data Center Infrastructure.

Pros
  • Easy to install
  • Simple UI, easy enough for non techs.
  • Its also pretty
Cons
