Review on Circonus by Justin Zilinskas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Helps with troubleshooting and monitoring of infrastructure

We are using circonus for our log aggregation system which helps us aggregate logs from multiple servers into single place. This has helped me filter out unnecessary details from my server logging so I can focus more on other things while getting work done. It's pretty slow sometimes but not really noticeable as long as you have sufficient resources available. If you want quick results then this might be something worth considering however if your requirements are very heavy (e.g. need all the logs aggregated together) then please consider alternatives as well. Logging issues are reduced significantly. Easy setup even if you are not technical or have no coding experience - it’s very simple! Dashboards help me keep track what's running well as compared against problems I need more attention too (ease up your QA team!). The ability easily add new applications into my stack using their app store makes this easy enought to do without any knowledge needed from our side other than ensuring we can run them smoothly within an environment which has been set out prior etc..
