Using Redis for Monitoring Systems
R.I.Pienaar:
Monitoring systems generally need a number of different types of storage. These are configuration, event archiving and status and alert tracking. There are more but these are the big ticket items, of the 3 I am only going to focus on the last one – Status and Alert Tracking here.
Basically:
- record status using Redis hashes
- track staleness using Redis sorted sets
- trigger event notifications and track alerts using Redis PUB/SUB
