eBook Description:
Modern Network Observability: A hands-on approach using open source tools such as Telegraf, Prometheus, and Grafana. Learn how to use modern monitoring tools for building network observability solutions that enhance operations and promote an effective automation strategy, with step-by-step guidance and practical examples.
As modern IT services and software architectures such as microservices rely increasingly on network performance, the relevance of networks has never been greater. Network observability has emerged as a critical evolution of traditional monitoring, providing the deep visibility needed to manage today’s complex, dynamic environments. In Modern Network Observability, authors David Flores, Christian Adell, and Josh VanDeraa share their extensive experience to guide you through building and deploying a flexible observability stack using open-source tools.
This book begins by addressing the limitations of monolithic monitoring solutions, showing you how to transform them into a composable, flexible observability stack. Through practical implementations, you’ll learn how to collect, normalize, and analyze network data from diverse sources, build intuitive dashboards, and set up actionable alerts that help you stay ahead of potential issues. Later, you’ll cover advanced topics, such as integrating observability data into your network automation strategy, ensuring your network operations align with business objectives.
- Collect and normalize data from various sources using Telegraf and Logstash
- Enrich operational data with crucial context from a Source of Truth such as Nautobot
- Visualize data and create insightful dashboards with Grafana
- Automate alerts and responses for your network operations strategy using Prefect
- Understand when to build or buy an observability stack, with tips and best practices
- Explore practical machine learning techniques to enhance observability data value
By the end of this Modern Network Observability book, you’ll be able to proactively manage your network, minimize downtime, and ensure resilient, efficient, and future-proof operations.
