Once upon a time… Because I love telling tales
This talk is about a tale… A true one nevertheless
And as in most tales It begins with a mission
And a band of heroes Engulfed into the adventure
They fight against mishaps And all kind of foes
They build mighty fortresses Pushing the limits of possible
And defend them day after day Against all odds
But we don’t know yet the end Because this tale isn’t finished yet
It begins with a mission Build a metrics platform for OVH
A long time ago…
A long time ago… Monitoring: Does the system works?

We need to have insights Observability: How the system works?
OVH decided go metrics-oriented
A metrics platform for OVH For all OVH
Building OVH Metrics One Platform to unify them all, One Platform to find them, One Platform to bring them all and in the Metrics monitor them
What is OVH Metrics? Managed Cloud Platform for Time Series
OVH monitoring story We had lots of partial solutions…
OVH monitoring story One Platform to unify them all What should we build it on?
OVH monitoring story Including a really big
OpenTSDB drawbacks OpenTSDB RowKey Design !
OpenTSDB Rowkey design flaws ● .regex. => full table scans ● High cardinality issues (Query latencies) We needed something able to manage hundreds of millions time series OpenTSBD didn’t scale for us
OpenTSDB other flaws ● ● ● ● ● Compaction (or append writes) /api/query : 1 endpoint per function? Asynchronous Unauthenticated …
Scaling OpenTSDB
Metrics needs First need: To be massively scalable
Analytics is the key to success Fetching data is only the tip of the iceberg
Analysing metrics data To be scalable, analysis must be done in the database, not in user’s computer
Metrics needs Second need: To have rich query capabilities
Enter Warp 10… Open-source Time series Database
More than a Time Series DB Warp 10 is a software platform that ● Ingests and stores time series ● Manipulates and analyzes time series
Manipulating Time Series with Warp 10 A true Time Series analysis toolbox ○ Hundreds of functions ○ Manipulation frameworks ○ Analysis workflow
Manipulating Time Series with Warp 10 A Time Series manipulation language WarpScript
Did you say scalability? From the smallest to the largest…
More Warp 10 goodness ● Secured & multi tenant ● Synchronous (transactions) ● In memory Index ● Better Performance ● No cardinality issues ● Better Scalability ● Lockfree ingestion ● Versatile ● WarpScript Query Language ● Support more data types (standalone, distributed)
OVH Observability Metrics Platform
Building an ecosystem From Warp 10 to OVH Metrics
What protocols should we support? Who must do the effort?

Even medical research… Metrics’ Pattern Detection feature helped Gynaecology Research to prove patterns on perinatal mortality
Use cases families • • • • Billing Monitoring IoT (e.g. bill on monthly max consumption) ……………………………………………..……. (APM, infrastructure,appliances,…) …..…………………………… (Manage devices, operator integration, …) …………………………………………….…………………. Geo Location (Manage localized fleets) ……..…………………

Conclusion That’s all folks!
Comment faire quand on doit faire le suivi de toute l’infrastructure du plus grand fournisseur de cloud Européen ? Comment choisir un outil quand les plus populaires ne tient pas la marée à cette échèle ? Comment construire une plateforme Metrics pour unifier, concilier et remplacer des années de legacy fragmenté et des solutions partielles ?
Dans ce talk nous racontons notre expérience sur la construction et la maintenance d’OVH Metrics, la plateforme utilisée pour monitorer toute l’infrastructure OVH. Nous avions besoin d’aller à des endroits ou la plupart de solutions de monitoring ne sont jamais allées, opérer à l’échelle du plus grand fournisseur Européen de cloud et hosting : 27 data centers, plus de 300k serveurs (physiques !) et des centaines de produits pour accomplir notre mission avec nos 1,3 millions de clients.
Venez pour entendre cette histoire de séries temporelles, de solutions open-sources poussées à l’extreme, de clusters HBase opérés en limite de capacité, et de comment une petite équipe s’est appuyé sur une poignée de solutions open-source et une bonne dose de code maison pour construire une des solutions de monitoring les plus performantes au monde.
Here’s what was said about this presentation on social media.
