Situation: Users of Moogsoft’s on-premise product lacked readily available timeseries data and analytics regarding their operational performance, team activities, and system usage. This information was crucial for optimization and management.
Task: To design and implement an analytics solution that could extract relevant data from the Moogsoft database, process it into meaningful statistics, and surface these insights to users via an accessible interface, specifically a Grafana plugin.
Action:
- Designed an architecture to extract and process data from the Moogsoft database to generate operational statistics.
- Led the development of a Grafana plugin to surface these timeseries-based insights to Moogsoft users, teams, and managers.
- Ensured the analytics provided actionable information for improving operational efficiency and understanding system behavior.
Tech Stack Used: Tomcat, Nginx, MySQL, Java, RabbitMQ, Grafana.
Result: Established an architecture to create stats from data in the Moogsoft database and surface those through a Grafana plugin.
Context: This project enhanced the value proposition of the on-premise product by delivering much-needed analytical capabilities. It empowered users and managers with data to optimize their use of Moogsoft and improve their IT operations.
