During a few short performance test I used CloudWatch for the first time.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t like it.<\/p>\n

I was looking around and checked other metrics tools but that didn’t help because I don\u2019t like them either.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s not really a CloudWatch problem. It\u2019s me.<\/p>\n

I believe I want both the raw data as well as fast aggregated data. I I would like to be able to get CPU usage in the last thirty minutes per ten seconds and I would like to get all the information about all individual calls to a certain service in the last 24 months. And I don\u2019t want to use Cloud Watch for the former and logstash or similar for the latter. I want to have both in one interface. (Though I also see an addition need for logstash, but that is another story)<\/p>\n

I am wondering if I am wrong about my expectations or if my understanding of the tools that are around is wrong.<\/p>\n

OpenTSDB seems to be up my alley in terms of providing both, but supposedly does not perform well in some scenarios. With Netflix Atlas, I don\u2019t like that it does not support other backends and I also not sure how flexible it is in the set-up but I believe if it was possible to connect Atlas to OpenTSDB it would be what I am after. With Graphite I don\u2019t like the store mechanism since it isn\u2019t covering my long term storage \u201cneeds\u201d. With InfluxDB I am not happy about the lack of clustering (there is a experimental version) but I also find it is doing too much even though I think I would like it\u2019s query interface.<\/p>\n

There are several paid options, but my understanding is too limited to understand what metrics I want in one year to be able to decide this now.<\/p>\n

Well, there is no way around it, I need to try things out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
