How to Use the New Relic Veneur Sink to Enhance Your Observability Pipeline
Blog post from New Relic
Veneur, an open-source metric collection tool developed by Stripe, addresses the challenges faced by Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) in consolidating operational data from various sources into a single data store for better visualization and analysis. By pre-aggregating metrics, it reduces data ingestion and storage costs, enhances efficiency, and improves reliability over other metric aggregator implementations. The blog explores how to configure a Veneur sink to send metrics to New Relic's Telemetry Data Platform, allowing users to seamlessly monitor and analyze data from multiple sources like DogStatsD. It provides a step-by-step guide to setting up and running Veneur with Docker, highlighting the benefits of integrating such tools into the New Relic ecosystem. The author, Peter Simkins, emphasizes the advantages of using New Relic for combining operational metrics with business-relevant data to enhance infrastructure monitoring and offers an invitation to explore further discussions and support through the Explorers Hub community.
