Rootconf 2017 Monitoring Meetup Event

Implementing and running a distributed system, poses unique challenges for Systems/DevOps Engineers. Troubleshooting and debugging issues in distributed systems is a tedious and complex process. The standard approach of gaining insight into system activity by analysing system logs alone is not enough. In this talk we demystify the complex process by presenting some approaches, best practices to tame the beast. These are based on our learnings in running distributed systems at internet scale.
