Heroku Event Monitoring

Introduction

Heroku event monitoring is a massive challenge for developers running applications in Heroku. Heroku offers default monitoring options, but when it comes to discovering events throughout your application, you’ll need a more powerful tool.

For Heroku event monitoring, you’ll need HG Heroku Monitoring. HG Heroku monitoring is built as a Hosted version of Graphite, Prometheus and Grafana, but it can integrate directly with your Heroku app. Pull time series metrics from anywhere your Heroku app into one single pane of glass, HG’s Grafana Dashboards. You can also pull in metrics from outside your Heroku app, such as your AWS metrics, in order to make monitoring really easy.

To get started, go to the HG Heroku monitoring listing, and install the add-on on your Heroku app!

How HG Heroku Event Monitoring works

We compile and process the Syslog information for your Dynos from Heroku with the help of the log-runtime-metrics, including:

• Medium charge - averages of 1/5/15 min.
• Memory and Switch - the resident memory, file cache, transfer, total memory, and gross cumulative for disc pages.
• HTTP metrics - the number of HTTP method and status codes breakdown requests, the transmitted data, the communication times, and the operation times.

With this info, we build Grafana automated dashboards that provide you with a summary of the high-level situation of your Heroku applications.

It will look just like this at first:

‍

The true strength of this method is to pair it with the device dimensions unique to your app. Not only do you have to use the original dashboard, you can add to it and send in metrics specific to your situation. 

This gives you an insight into your program and enables you to see the impact your code has on the underlying Dynos. Check this new feature, which you are sure will work, and then make 100% sure it has the capacity and load average on the box. 

The result is native as well as personalized framework metrics in a single location.
