VIKI NEEDED TO ALERT ON TRENDS IN REAL-TIME
- Wanted to compute analytics, like percentiles and success rates, in real-time for alerting on trends instead of individual container performance
- Needed to high-resolution data to capture problems before they impact users
- Required open source instrumentation so they could easily integrate with existing technologies like Docker and Elasticsearch, as well as build their own tooling if needed
RESULTS
- Now have ability to perform real-time trend analysis by instrumenting metrics at one second intervals with multiple dimensions, and using SignalFlow analytics
- Have been able to reduce alert noise through trend- and service-based triggers
- Consistently catch issues before they impact user experience
