Abstract

Developing on distributed systems increases the maintenance requirements of software projects. Monitoring software can help systems administrators decrease maintenance costs, but existing enterprise solutions are expensive. The goal of this project was to design and build a monitoring dashboard for Company's distributed development platform using open-source services. We designed and implemented a prototype monitoring dashboard to visualize the health of a typical distributed system. We then tested the prototype dashboard with Company engineers and determined that our approach to implementing an open-source monitoring system could not fulfill the enterprise requirements envisioned by Company.
