Rootconf Mini 2024

Monitoring and collecting metrics and logs is essential for product and service improvement, particularly at scale due to the vast data size and diverse stakeholders. At e6data, we began our journey with our Gen3 Lake House native compute engine in a “Cloudprem” model. Metrics and logs are crucial for understanding customer interactions, such as query success rates and the reasons behind query failures. Currently, we utilize an open-source stack comprising Loki for logs, Mimir for metrics, and Grafana for visualization. This talk will detail our journey in leveraging Loki and Mimir to create an effective monitoring and alerting system.
