DevOps Einhoven Meetup: monitoring health metrics & supercharging Grafana

In anticipation of Devopsdays Eindhoven in October, let's meet up! Get it?

Join us for 2 talks and a whole lot of chatter. We're shooting for a combination of in-person and online (aka "hybrid"). At 18:00 we'll start with a bite to eat, and at around 7PM the official program will start.

The meetup is located at the Bohr room in the Conference Center.

# Monitoring microservices on AWS

The ability to easily understand how your system is behaving and quickly identify the root cause of a downtime is an important aspect to take into account when building and monitoring microservices in the cloud. In this session I will show some examples of which kind of information and data points can be utilised and displayed in your Amazon Managed Grafana dashboards to better assess the health of your microservice.

# Extend your Grafana experience through plugins

By default, Grafana comes with an impressive set of different visualizations and data source integrations. But that's not all! Many more panels and data sources are available as plugins, built by the Grafana community. In this session, you'll learn about the new in-app plugin catalog and a few nifty plugins to get you started using plugins!
