With ever increasing growing networks, automation plays a critical role. We want engineers to have time to work on exciting projects versus staring at graphs 24/7 and reacting to events.
In this talk, we provide an introduction on how our monitoring and remediation systems work; we will also describe the initial steps on how to build a simple remediation system—scalable machinery that can watch for symptoms of errors/failures and react to these in a pre-defined way.
We will cover not only architecture, but also give recommendations on how to keep the system scalable. The talk will present a walkthrough of an open source system (URL Hidden) written in GO—a static typing language with concurrency built in its philosophy. To finish the presentation, we will do a live demo of the system.
