Lots of talks and presentations going on at the Percona Live Europe Open Source Database Conference 2016 on day two! Today is just as packed as yesterday, and we were able to attend some more of the talks.
MongoDB has had an increasing presence at Percona Live Europe, and had several sessions devoted to it today. One such presentation was run by Pavel Trukhanov, CEO of okmeter. His talk was on MongoDB Query Monitoring.
He discussed how the main mission for every database instance is to execute commands and queries. Knowing if your database is behaving well means knowing if your application is getting the correct query responses (and in a reasonable amount of time). So it’s crucially important to monitor queries, responses and lag time.
Pavel discussed how they implemented MongoDB monitoring in their system that monitored their SaaS okmeter.io.
He talked about the following questions:
- What metrics do you need to gather?
- How do you get metrics without affecting DB performance?
- How do you display these metrics, so on-call DBAs can quickly understand ongoing issues?
- What diagnostics does MongoDB already have, and what metrics can you access by sniffing DB traffic
- How to process metrics efficiently?
Percona’s EMEA Field Marketing Manager Kamal Taibi was able to chat with Pavel Trukhanov and get better insight into his talk. Check it out below!
