Altoros Heartbeat Adds Full-Stack Monitoring for Pivotal Cloud Foundry
A monitoring tool from Altoros now extends to track real-time metrics generated by Pivotal's Cloud Foundry distribution
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Altoros, a consultancy focused on cloud-native app development, announced availability of its Heartbeat monitoring tool for Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF). Released on July 20, 2017, the product is delivered to help existing PCF operators and developers with live monitoring across their deployments. Visualized with a variety of panels, metrics can be collected from all orgs and spaces.
Dashboards for tracking the system in detail
Altoros Heartbeat was originally released in May 2017 as a full-stack monitoring tool for Cloud Foundry. The tool provides a 360-degree view on Cloud Foundry deployments, combining data visualization, alerts, etc.
Currently in beta, Heartbeat for PCF enables operators to monitor:
- The platform—metrics emitted by all PCF components
- IaaS—metrics from CPU, memory usage, I/O, network, VM states, and more (regardless of an underlying infrastructure)
- Third-party services—metrics from MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, and RabbitMQ
- Applications—standard (CPU, memory, or disk usage), arbitrary (gauges, counters, timings, sets), and HTTP-specific (requests per second, status codes, error rates, and more) metrics
Users of Heartbeat for PCF build upon predefined, easily configurable data visualization panels by creating their own dashboards for general overviews or close-ups to get all key metrics in one place. Alerts can be defined for each dashboard panel, and users get immediate notifications through e-mail, Slack, and other notification channels.
Complying with Pivotal standards
The new release provides functionality through a PCF tile packaged to expose the product functionality as a managed service.
"While service integration with PCF requires a deep understanding of the platform and the service that is being integrated, simply creating a tile with all the required components is not enough," explains Kirill Grigorchuk, Head of Cloud Foundry Department at Altoros. "Each service must stand up to Pivotal's quality standards and requirements for high availability, scalability, security, usability, documentation, etc."
The development team is working on integrating more of third-party services, as well as include other PCF tiles offered by Altoros (for Cassandra, Jenkins, Elasticsearch, etc.).
The product in detail
Heartbeat for PCF is free while it remains in beta, then will be offered under a subscription model. An overview of Altoros Heartbeat monitoring can be found here:
