Cloud Insight Data Management Platform Beta version on-line

The Cloud Insight Beta 1.0 version was launched on August 20, 2015.

Cloud Insight is a data management platform that takes into account IT infrastructure and platform service monitoring. Currently supports Ubuntu, Fedora, RedHat and CentOS OS monitoring, as well as server monitoring for MongoDB, MySQL, and Nginx server monitoring.

In the Beta 1.0 release, we support:

• Ubuntu
• Fedora
• RedHat
• Centos
• Mysql
• Mongodb
• Redis
• Memcached
• PostgreSQL
• Apache
• Nginx

Infrastructure monitoring

Cloud Insight takes infrastructure monitoring as a starting point, monitoring operating system CPUs, Memory consumption of these resources, and network throughput.

In addition, Cloud Insight can monitor the platform services running on this infrastructure, such as MySQL, Redis, and so on.

Implementing prototypes

Cloud Insight uses STATSD to collect data and send it to the OneAPM data center.

Why use STATSD? It is believed that many colleagues who use open source solutions to implement monitoring have been exposed to a tool such as STATSD.

STATSD Docking All monitoring host operating system, as well as middleware, database, Server API interface, to STATSD. It is then passed by STATSD to the backend, and data visualization is given to data visualization tools such as Graphite.

And the vision it aspires to achieve:Measure anything, Measure everything!, and the vision that Cloud Insight wants to achieve. What Cloud Insight wants to achieve in the future is a centralized data management platform for data monitoring needs across the company .

For example, Cloud Insight enables monitoring of infrastructure and platform services to meet the needs of operations personnel, in addition to:

• operator : Cloud Insight is based on STATSD's future of data monitoring platforms such as Google Analytics to meet the data monitoring needs of its operators;
• decision makers : OneAPM own products Application Insight can monitor the overall monitoring of the product in accordance with the business as the starting point. Cloud Insight will be open to the future with application insight and Mobile insight. As a result, the overall visibility of all products throughout the company can be demonstrated and managed in the Cloud Insight.

Note: For cloud Insight product prototyping, the relevant features will be realized at the end of 2015, please look forward to.

With STATSD or Zabbix colleagues, there may be a distress that the installation process is cumbersome and does not enable aggregation of data. So, these are issues that Cloud Insight wants to solve.

Register for the Cloud Insight account, use the Beta version, we in the subsequent product iterations, these specific monitoring process encountered pain points, are we are eager to solve the problem!

Custom

The use of open source tools to build their own monitoring platform, in fact, there are two points of departure:

• High customization capability
• Rely on community support for new technologies

Cloud Insight will then open the API, follow Measure anything, Measure everything principle, support all data docking.

In addition, Cloud Insight implements a unified management mechanism:

• Use tag to manage, group, and aggregate infrastructure and performance metrics;
• Using UDP the transmission protocol to ensure the real-time presentation of data;
• Standardize data in the format of maximum, minimum, average, median, 95%, and 99% values;
• Sampling standardization, filtering out the abnormal pulse value.

So sign up for the Cloud Insight account and start using it for free! For any platform docking, and data processing needs and recommendations, you can come to the Cloud Insight community to express their views.
