Intelligent network performance metrics
presentation
posted on 2019-05-15, 00:26 authored by Richard ProcterREANNZ built TSX, a system that gives us accurate, long-term network performance metrics by
abstracting away the continual changes to our network. It builds upon ideas found in the opensource Prometheus monitoring system.
In 2018, we coupled TSX to Prometheus in order to glean significant needles from our data
haystack of sixty thousand metrics in near real-time. This has, for example, allowed us to
proactively identify and replace ailing equipment before it fails, increasing the reliability of our
network.
We will show TSX in action, how it has untangled our raw data store, and is now providing rich
graphical reporting in both near-real-time and from our collection of over 5 years and nearly 2TB
worth of recorded data.
