Rethinking Metrics: Metrics 2.0
LISA: Where systems engineering and operations professionals share real-world knowledge about designing, building, and maintaining the critical systems of our interconnected world.
The LISA conference has long served as the annual vendor-neutral meeting place for the wider system administration community. The LISA14 program recognized the overlap and differences between traditional and modern IT operations and engineering, and developed a highly-curated program around 5 key topics: Systems Engineering, Security, Culture, DevOps, and Monitoring/Metrics. The program included 22 half- and full-day training sessions; 10 workshops; and a conference program consisting of 50 invited talks, panels, refereed paper presentations, and mini-tutorials.

As the amount of metrics, software that produce and process them, and people involved in them continue to increase, we need better ways to organize them, to make them self-describing, and do so in a way that is consistent. Leveraging this, we can then automatically build graphs and dashboards, given a query that represents an information need, even for complicated cases. We can build richer visualizations, alerting and fault detection. This talk will introduce the concepts and related tools, demonstrate possibilities using the Graph-Explorer interface, and lay the groundwork for future work.

Dieter Plaetinck is a Belgian engineer living in NYC. Realizing existing metrics solutions didn't cut it while working on complicated backends and infrastructure at Vimeo, he set out to make the experience smoother via projects like the Graph-Explorer metrics dashboard and statsdaemon, a metrics aggregator. He also works on a bunch of other open source projects like anthracite, an event logging app, and uzbl, a minimalist web browser for control freaks. He maintains the metrics 2.0 spec (metrics20.org) and runs a website dedicated to proper use of standardized units and prefixes. He tweets and blogs (sometimes).
