Service monitoring plays a crucial role in modern software operations and maintenance, ensuring the robust operation of systems. Grafana, as a comprehensive open-source monitoring tool, provides deep insights into multi-source data through its powerful data integration and visualization capabilities. Zadig, as a cloud-native DevOps platform, streamlines and self-serves business, configuration, and data change tasks in software delivery with its agile and scalable automated workflow engine.
By tightly integrating Zadig with Grafana’s monitoring capabilities, we can significantly improve the real-time response to system anomalies. This article will introduce how to achieve seamless integration between Zadig and Grafana, ensuring continuous monitoring after service changes, providing the operations team with greater flexibility and control, and ensuring the continuous stability of the system.
# Zadig Integration with Grafana
- Access Grafana, create a service account, set the role to Viewer, and then add and obtain the token.
- Access Zadig, go to
系统设置->系统集成->监控系统, and add the relevant information for Grafana.
# Configure Monitoring Tasks in the Workflow
In the production release workflow, add a Grafana 监测任务 and select the appropriate alert rule.
Explanation:
Monitoring Time: The time period during which the alert rule is monitored. If the result is abnormal within this time, the workflow monitoring task will fail
Alert Rules: You can select multiple pre-defined alert rules from Grafana
Failure Strategy: Choose different failure strategies based on different monitoring levels and scenarios
- Immediate Failure on Single Monitoring Exception: If any monitor produces an abnormal result, the workflow monitoring task fails immediately
- Failure After All Monitoring Completes: The workflow monitoring task fails only if an abnormal result appears after all monitors have completed
# Workflow Notifications and Alerts
Select the corresponding service and version to execute the workflow. When an exception is detected during the change process, the workflow will quickly provide feedback. Additionally, using the workflow notification (opens new window) capabilities, error results can be received in real-time via instant messaging (IM), email, or a self-built notification system to ensure that issues are promptly addressed.
# Summary
The strong integration between Zadig and Grafana greatly enhances the automation and response rate of service monitoring. This integration allows us to capture any impact of service changes in real-time and ensures that issues are identified and resolved promptly through automated alert mechanisms. It also enhances continuous supervision of service performance, improving the stability and reliability of services through automated processes and immediate alerts, ensuring smooth business operations, and significantly enhancing customer satisfaction.
