This is how Opcito enhanced monitoring, logging, APM, and incident management with Datadog

Engagement details

The customer provides a monitoring and security platform for cloud applications that brings together end-to-end traces, metrics, and logs to make applications, infrastructure, and third-party services entirely observable, helping businesses secure their systems and avoid downtime. Due to limited insight into their extensive AWS infrastructure and application performance, early detection and quick resolution of complex issues were problematic. The system's growth in scale and the addition of microservices made pinpointing root causes increasingly complex, leading to longer resolution times. Also, consolidating and analyzing log data from various AWS services were scattered and inefficient, impeding timely problem detection and response. Opcito's monitoring experts proposed to integrate Datadog with the customer's AWS infrastructure for detailed performance data and insights.

Technologies

• AWS (RDS, WAF, CloudWatch logs, Kinesis data, Firehose, Lambda, S3 bucket)

Benefits

• Better monitoring
• Enhanced visibility
• Efficient log management
• Improved APM
• Real-time alerts and effective incident management
• Cost optimization

See how Opcito used Nagios for monitoring the customer's on-premises infrastructure

Engagement details

The customer is a supply chain management organization with a substantial on-premises IT setup consisting of several servers, networks, and applications. They remained steadfast with their on-premises infrastructure due to regulatory constraints and business-specific requirements. This led to frequent downtimes and system failures. There needed to be an efficient system to detect issues before they escalated, leading to unnecessary productivity and business losses. The IT team struggled with manual monitoring efforts and could not proactively manage their infrastructure. Opcito's SecOps experts identified Nagios - a leading infrastructure monitoring tool, as a potential solution. Its robust monitoring capabilities, open-source nature, and broad community support were why it was implemented.

Technologies

• Nagios
• Protocols (TCP/IP, SNMP)
• RRD Database

Benefits

• Improved infrastructure management and uptime
• Reduced manual monitoring
• Cost saving
