The DevOps 2.2 Toolkit

By: Viktor Farcic

Overview of this book

Building on The DevOps 2.0 Toolkit and The DevOps 2.1 Toolkit: Docker Swarm, Viktor Farcic brings his latest exploration of the Docker technology as he records his journey to explore two new programs, self-adaptive and self-healing systems within Docker. The DevOps 2.2 Toolkit: Self-Sufficient Docker Clusters is the latest book in Viktor Farcic’s series that helps you build a full DevOps Toolkit. This book in the series looks at Docker, the tool designed to make it easier in the creation and running of applications using containers. In this latest entry, Viktor combines theory with a hands-on approach to guide you through the process of creating self-adaptive and self-healing systems. Within this book, Viktor will cover a wide-range of emerging topics, including what exactly self-adaptive and self-healing systems are, how to choose a solution for metrics storage and query, the creation of cluster-wide alerts and what a successful self-sufficient system blueprint looks like. Work with Viktor and dive into the creation of self-adaptive and self-healing systems within Docker.

Querying metrics from instrumented services

Let's open the Prometheus graph screen and explore different ways to query metrics scraped from the go-demo_main service.

open "http://$(docker-machine ip swarm-1)/monitor/graph" 

Please click the Graph tab, enter the query that follows, and click the Execute button

http_server_resp_time_sum / http_server_resp_time_count

We divided the summary of response times with the count of the requests. You'll notice that the output graph shows that the average value is close to zero. Feel free to hover over one of the lines and observe that the values are only a few milliseconds. The go-demo_main service pings itself periodically and the responses are very fast.

We should generate some slower responses since the current result does not show metrics in their true glory.

The /demo/hello endpoint of the service can be supplemented...
