Rootconf proposals for round the year in 2018

Monitoring is a simple task, but with the right tools it is not a hard task. However, events like Black Friday/Big Billion Day can push your application to the limit, and even cause crashes.

As the system is stressed, it is a lot more logs, which may crash the monitoring system as well. In this talk I will walk through the best practices when using the Elastic Stack to centralize and monitor your logs/metrics/apm data. I will also share some tricks to help you with the huge increase of typical traffic on events like Big Billion Day.

Outline

Topics include:

• Monitoring architectures
• Optimal bulk size
• Distributing the load
• Index and shard size
• Optimizing disk IO

Key Takeaway: best practices when building a monitoring system with the Elastic Stack, advanced tuning to optimize and increase ingest performance.
