1st talk:

Open Stack Monitoring with minimal effort

Toby Corbin (https://www.linkedin.com/in/toby-corbin-b9974915/) - Software Engineer @ IBM (https://twitter.com/IBM)

Finding performance problems in open stack solutions can be a tricky affair with many options available to the user. In this presentation, we will showcase Application Metrics for Node.js, our open source Node.js monitoring solution, and show how it can integrate with other open stack solutions like Prometheus and Zipkin

Toby is a Software Engineer and lead technical architect of Consumability tooling in Runtimes. The team develops monitoring and analytic solutions for Swift, Node.js and Java. These solutions inlcude low overhead monitoring, profiling and diagnostics capabilities and free Eclipse based tools such as Health Center, Garbage Collection and Memory Visualizer (GCMV), Memory Analyzer and IBM Diagnostics Data Explorer (IDDE). For the last few years, Toby has been focusing on providing a monitoring solution that can be adapted to multiple runtimes and integrated into new technologies.
