Yesterdays (ok, late post - at the last) MeetUp was first and foremost about the Container Manifesto, which aims to foster understanding about how to build and run a Container.

Afterwards we figured that I missed 'Containers should start fast (thx Lukasz)' as an additional point - next time. :)

For today I will just put the video in here, a separat blog post might follow - even though I feel it is not that necessary, as no code was executed.

Last week-end I was hacking on my metrics collector to be able to fetch docker-engine and docker-container stats.

But as my MeetUp in Berlin is called M.E.L.I.G. (Metrics,Events,Logs,Inventory and Glue), there is much more to it then metrics.

This week-end I hacked on a new tool: qwatch

A while back I stumbled upon Fullerite, a GOLANG metrics collector, which can reuses the collectors of the python Diamond collector.

One of the issues I had was, that it is not using the event time, but the process time of collected metrics. Thus, if you want to bulk update collected metrics, they will all have the same timestamp of the time they are push to the metrics backend.

In last weeks 3rd M.E.L.I.G. MeetUp I talked about ChatOps, which consolidates communication channels and helps to provide a more natural way of communicating in general.

Why we can’t have nice things

The second M.E.L.I.G. MeetUp was about the famous ELK stack (Elasticsearch / Logstash / Kibana).

Again, we were kindly hosted by InnoQ (they have a podcast). Thanks for that...

Today was the first instance of a M.E.L.I.G. MeetUp. The topic was about metrics in general (broad general) and what the new version of InfluxDB is going to introduce; mainly in terms of the storage backend.
