Grafana & Friends Munich

Welcome to our March Meetup, hosted by the lovely folks of CHECK24.

Talk 1) Zero-Code Application Observability using Grafana Beyla
Fabian Stäber, Senior Engineering Manager, Grafana Labs

Abstract: Setting up the observability strategy for your applications requires instrumenting your code. In some cases, this task can be really tedious. Thanks to revolutionary technologies like eBPF, enabling this process requires minimal effort. Join us in this session and discover how, with Grafana Beyla, you can achieve zero-code instrumentation for your applications. https://github.com/grafana/beyla

Talk 2) SNMP Monitoring with Prometheus
Basti Schubert, Solutions Engineer, Grafana Labs

Abstract: In today's interconnected digital landscape, maintaining optimal network performance is paramount for businesses. This presentation delves into the fusion of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Prometheus, an open-source monitoring solution, to provide comprehensive insights into network health and performance. By harnessing SNMP's ability to collect and organize data from various network devices and Prometheus's robust data storage and querying capabilities, organizations can achieve real-time visibility, proactive issue resolution, and efficient capacity planning.
Bio: Sebastian Schubert is a Solutions Engineer at Grafana Labs and passionate about Open Source since he started using Linux in 1994. Sebastian helps customers on their journey to observability for their on-prem systems as well in the cloud, showing them the value Grafana can add to their day to day work life. In the past he worked on Mainframes, built clouds from scratch and engaged with the Monitoring Community (Promcon Staff, FOSDEM Video Team, modbus_exporter Maintainer). In his free time he likes to go skiing, scuba diving, ride his motorbike or lend a hand at the Munich volunteer fire brigade.
