pdurbin: hi, I'm still busy at pycon, but I had some questions about the api metrics. |
| 12:32 |
|
skay |
pdurbin: is it the case that your java code uses a monitoring library? |
| 12:32 |
|
skay |
pdurbin: if so, then you would instrument your api handling code to fire monitoring events. |
| 12:33 |
|
skay |
you will lkely want to be monitoring your transactions anyway, so this is good |
| 12:35 |
|
skay |
pdurbin: also, won't clients need to authenticate and identify their rquests similar to how clients of other services do these things (analogy: aws requests) so this is also a way to track origin of incoming requests |
| 12:38 |
|
skay |
pdurbin: back to monitoring. my background when working in java was to use a library developed at orbitz called erma, which submited events via streambase to graphite. I think I mentioned this before, apologies for repeating myself |
| 12:39 |
|
skay |
pdurbin: we wanted to move away from streambase and use something like statsd instead. so if you are starting from scratch, I recommend surveying what people are using |
| 12:39 |
|
pdurbin |
no, I'm not using a monitoring library |
| 12:39 |
|
skay |
pdurbin: to sum up. I am telling you to instrument your java code so that it fires event monitors and transaction monitors to a service like graphite. |
| 12:40 |
|
* pdurbin |
has heard good things about graphite |
| 12:40 |
|
skay |
pdurbin: okay, to fall back from that, you can even do some good log scraping and then number crunch from there |
| 12:40 |
|
skay |
even if just log scraping apache access logs. but I am guessing you use something like log4j or whatever |
| 12:40 |
|
pdurbin |
yeah, I'd rather build metrics gathering into the app |
| 12:41 |
|
pdurbin |
if it's a design requirement |
| 12:41 |
|
skay |
yeah, that is a much better thing |
| 12:42 |
|
pdurbin |
skay: have you found any OSF people at pycon? |
| 12:42 |
|
skay |
pdurbin: yes, but I've been running around. I should probably find them today and talk more |
| 12:44 |
|
skay |
pdurbin: if I don't have a good block of time to review the python client, then I think they should just merge and not let me hold them up |
| 12:46 |
|
pdurbin |
skay: maybe talk with them about the merge in person if you can |
| 12:47 |
|
skay |
pdurbin: that will be my goal, along with also talking about the api for depositing |
| 12:48 |
|
skay |
pdurbin: I'm leavng Montreal tomorrow so I better find everyone today! |
| 12:49 |
|
pdurbin |
skay: nice. are you in Montreal for long? |
| 12:49 |
|
skay |
pdurbin: not much longer. I came in on the 10th for the conference and stayed these two days for sprints |
| 12:50 |
|
skay |
sprints go for another day but flights on Thursday were almost 2x as much! |
| 12:51 |
|
skay |
pdurbin: maybe for next pycon I could bracket it with some vacation |
| 12:52 |
|
skay |
ttyl, to the sprint rooms I go |
| 12:53 |
|
pdurbin |
o/ |
| 12:53 |
|
pdurbin |
skay: thanks for your feedback on the metrics thing |
