Kinesis and Nebius Cloud Monitoring Integration

Input and output integration overview

<p>The Kinesis plugin enables you to read from Kinesis data streams, supporting various data formats and configurations.</p>

<p>This plugin allows users to effortlessly send aggregated metrics to Nebius Cloud Monitoring, leveraging the cloud’s monitoring solutions.</p>

Integration details

Kinesis

<p>The Kinesis Telegraf plugin is designed to read from Amazon Kinesis data streams, enabling users to gather metrics in real-time. As a service input plugin, it operates by listening for incoming data rather than polling at regular intervals. The configuration specifies various options including the AWS region, stream name, authentication credentials, and data formats. It supports tracking of undelivered messages to prevent data loss, and users can utilize DynamoDB for maintaining checkpoints of the last processed records. This plugin is particularly useful for applications requiring reliable and scalable stream processing alongside other monitoring needs.</p>

Nebius Cloud Monitoring

<p>The Nebius Cloud Monitoring plugin serves as an intermediary to send custom metrics to the Nebius Cloud Monitoring service. It is designed specifically to facilitate the monitoring of applications and services running within the Nebius ecosystem. This plugin is especially useful for users of the Nebius Cloud Platform who need to leverage cloud-based monitoring capabilities without significant configuration overhead. The plugin’s integration relies on Google Cloud metadata, allowing it to automatically fetch the necessary authentication credentials from the Compute instance it operates within. Key technical considerations include the management of reserved labels to ensure metrics are recorded correctly without conflicts.</p>

Input and output integration examples

Kinesis

<ol> <li> <p><strong>Real-Time Data Processing with Kinesis</strong>: This use case involves integrating the Kinesis plugin with a monitoring dashboard to analyze incoming data metrics in real-time. For instance, an application could consume logs from multiple services and present them visually, allowing operations teams to quickly identify trends and react to anomalies as they occur.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Serverless Log Aggregation</strong>: Utilize this plugin in a serverless architecture where Kinesis streams aggregate logs from various microservices. The plugin can create metrics that help detect issues in the system, automating alerting processes through third-party integrations, enabling teams to minimize downtime and improve reliability.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Dynamic Scaling Based on Stream Metrics</strong>: Implement a solution where stream metrics consumed by the Kinesis plugin could be used to adjust resources dynamically. For example, if the number of records processed spikes, corresponding scale-up actions could be triggered to handle the increased load, ensuring optimal resource allocation and performance.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Data Pipeline to S3 with Checkpointing</strong>: Create a robust data pipeline where Kinesis stream data is processed through the Telegraf Kinesis plugin, with checkpoints stored in DynamoDB. This approach can ensure data consistency and reliability, as it manages the state of processed data, enabling seamless integration with downstream data lakes or storage solutions.</p> </li> </ol>

Nebius Cloud Monitoring

<ol> <li> <p><strong>Dynamic Application Monitoring</strong>: Integrate this plugin with your application to continuously send metrics related to resource usage, such as CPU and memory utilization, to Nebius Cloud Monitoring. By doing so, you can gain insights into the performance of your application, allowing for adjustments in real-time based on the metrics received.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Incident Response Automation</strong>: Use the Nebius Cloud Monitoring plugin to automatically send alerts and metrics when certain thresholds are reached. For instance, if a particular service’s uptime drops below a certain percentage, the plugin can be configured to report this directly to the monitoring service, enabling quicker incident response and resolution.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Comparative Service Analysis</strong>: Set up the plugin to send metrics from multiple cloud instances running different versions of the same application to Nebius Cloud Monitoring. This approach allows for a comparative analysis of resource usage and performance, helping teams determine which version performs best under similar workloads.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Aggregated Metrics Dashboard</strong>: Use this plugin to create a centralized dashboard displaying metrics from various services across your cloud instances. By aggregating different application metrics into one interface, stakeholders can assess the overall health and performance of their cloud environment easily.</p> </li> </ol>
