The Many Ways Your Monitoring Is Lying to You

Sebastian Kirsch, Google

Abstract: 

Monitoring and dashboarding systems are crucial to understanding the behavior of large distributed systems. But monitoring systems can lead you on wild goose chases, or hide issues. In this talk, I will look at some examples of how a monitoring system can lie to you – in order to sensitize the audience to these failure modes and encourage them to look for similar examples in their own systems.
