Sematext Group has added Apache Storm and Redis monitoring and alerting to SPM, its core Performance Monitoring solution.
An enterprise-class solution available in Cloud (SaaS) and On Premises editions, SPM monitors critical Search and Big Data services like Hadoop, Elasticsearch, Kafka, Solr, ZooKeeper and many others running on hundreds of thousands of servers all over the globe.
This new functionality features benefits such as:
- dynamic real-time customizable dashboards graphing performance metrics alongside business KPI trends
- built-in alerts, Algolerts (automatic anomaly detection)
- integration with Sematext’s log analytics tool (Logsene)
- many other time and effort saving functions
“We are excited to add monitoring and alerting for Apache Storm and Redis to SPM,” said Otis Gospodnetic, Sematext’s founder and CEO. “Originally developed at Twitter for handling over 500 million tweets per day, Storm’s ability to perform distributed, real-time mining of high volume data streams has become indispensable to many organizations. And we didn’t just stop at adding Storm monitoring and alerting. We’ve also added support for Redis, a fast key-value store that has taken hold with developers everywhere due to its blazing performance and ability to process literally thousands of requests per second. These new additions to SPM will surely save our users significant time - and many headaches!”
Sematext is already working on additional functionality in SPM (and also their other solutions like Logsene and Search Analytics) to meet the needs of IT and Engineering executives, DevOps professionals and SysAdmins around the globe.
