The Benefits of Using “Monitoring Gateways" Architecture for Large-Scale IT Environments

In this talk, Daniel Mor from Waze discusses monitoring infrastructure for large-scale data centers. He emphasizes that traditional per-instance monitoring becomes problematic as systems grow larger and more complex. Instead, he recommends a "large-scale way" of monitoring, which involves placing a mid-layer between the monitoring service and clients. This mid-layer, or monitoring gateway, holds all logic and can support various features such as aggregating metrics and publishing API's for data fetching. By using this approach, businesses can maintain control over their monitoring systems while ensuring that they are scalable and adaptable to future needs.
