New views for monitoring microservices in Sysdig Cloud

Sysdig Cloud introduces new views for monitoring microservices, aimed at simplifying the process compared to traditional server or container monitoring. These pre-built views offer insights into service performance, allowing users to analyze application-specific or custom metrics by exploring various groupings such as hosts, services, or containers. The Overview by Service dashboard provides a summary of service size, performance, and limitations, with services identified by shared container images. Specialized views cater to different orchestration systems like Docker Swarm and Kubernetes, leveraging system-specific metadata. For HTTP-dependent services, views include metrics on URL requests, response times, and status codes, highlighting performance issues and bottlenecks. Detailed breakdowns of processing times for services are available, offering insights into local versus remote transaction tiers and resource utilization. This service abstraction facilitates monitoring in complex distributed software environments, and Sysdig encourages users to try these features to enhance their monitoring capabilities.
