Nagios tells you when the server is dead. Graphite tells you why it's dying. A battle-hardened guide to monitoring high-traffic infrastructure in Norway without drowning in false positives.
It is June 2013. The PRISM scandal is fresh, and your Nagios dashboard says 'OK', but customers are churning. We dissect the difference between standard monitoring and deep system introspection using Graphite, StatsD, and Logstash on high-performance KVM architecture.
Stop deploying via FTP. We break down how to build a robust Continuous Integration pipeline using Jenkins on CentOS 6, ensuring atomic deployments and compliance with Norwegian data laws.
Cloud platforms like Heroku promise a 'serverless' dream, but latency and data sovereignty in Norway tell a different story. Learn how to architect a decoupled, auto-scalable system using RabbitMQ, Nginx, and KVM—without the proprietary lock-in.
While the industry buzzes about the new 'Docker' project, serious infrastructure relies on LXC. Here is a deep dive into isolating container traffic using Open vSwitch and HAProxy, ensuring your Norwegian workloads stay compliant and fast.
Is your monitoring system becoming the bottleneck? We dissect the I/O limitations of legacy monitoring stacks, explore MySQL tuning for Zabbix 2.0, and explain why KVM isolation in Norway is critical for stability in 2013.
Why your Nagios dashboard is lying to you about performance. A deep dive into transitioning from binary monitoring to time-series metrics with Graphite, Collectd, and proper KVM isolation.
Nagios says your server is 'OK', but your users are timing out. In this deep dive, we explore the shift from basic monitoring to deep system instrumentation (observability) using 2013's best tools like Graphite, StatsD, and raw Linux utilities.
Stop relying on simple pings. In this deep dive, we explore how to configure Monit, Nagios, and Nginx to monitor internal application health, debug high I/O wait on standard VPS nodes, and ensure your Norwegian infrastructure handles traffic spikes without melting down.
Cloud SLAs are just refunds, not uptime. Learn how to architect true redundancy using HAProxy, MySQL 5.6 GTIDs, and a hybrid mix of AWS and Norwegian iron.
Is your monolithic LAMP stack crumbling under traffic? Learn how to decouple services using Nginx and KVM without incurring massive latency penalties in the Nordic region.
Move beyond the fragile 'Big Ball of Mud' architecture. Learn how to implement robust Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) patterns using Nginx, KVM, and HAProxy while keeping your latency low and your Norwegian data compliance high.
Move beyond the fragility of monolithic applications. We explore practical Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) patterns using Nginx, HAProxy, and KVM virtualization, ensuring your Norwegian infrastructure scales without latency bottlenecks.
Manual uploads are killing your uptime. Learn how to implement a Git-based deployment workflow using hooks, Jenkins, and Puppet on high-performance KVM architecture.
Is your monitoring system generating more I/O than your actual application? We dive deep into migrating from check-based polling to metric-based streams using Graphite and Collectd on KVM architectures.
In 2013, going 'all-in' on public cloud is a risky bet for latency and data sovereignty. Here is how to architect a hybrid solution using local VPS resources and commodity cloud storage.
Is your server actually healthy, or is it just responding to ping? In 2013, Nagios isn't enough. We dive deep into system instrumentation, high-frequency metrics with Graphite, and why reliable SSD I/O is critical for logging stacks in the Nordic market.
