How easy it can be to monitor OpenStack
I’m going to use the next 20 minutes
I will explain it based on an real-life application
So, how can you monitor this application?
Paul Cormier, RedHat

No doubt, monitor UX: $, customer satisfaction, that they come back and use your services again
No doubt, monitor apps: services/database perf, resource issues, ...
No doubt, monitor OpenStack: instances, services, supporting services, log files ... the list goes on.

Three-way split, different interest groups: CFO (memory utilzation?), CTO, COO
information about visits, session, duration of sessions, bounce rates, conversions, ...

oh, your bounce increased? well maybe the restructuring of the website wasn’t so good after all ... good, that we know that now!

You as a company that provides services need that data, otherwise you’re flying blind.

CFO, CEO
CTO / COO
monitor, you might have blind spots, customers/users complain!

So all of this information needs to be converged in a smart way to not overload you with unnecessary details.
not only correlation, also causal relation
Update of the Payment Service of one of the rookie developer that are convinced that you have to write everything on your own and reinvent the wheel on a daily basis.
Putting it all together now.
With large environments, manual introspection and correlation and log browsing won’t cut it anymore ... people don’t scale as well ...
SEE FOR YOURSELF!
