Cloud Foundry Monitoring and Metrics Collection Using Sensu and Graphite
summary
GE Digital runs Cloud Foundry for thousands of developers and tens of thousands of app instances and implements monitoring with Sensu, Graphite and Grafana; Sensu clients run as a BOSH job for automatic coverage across deployments, checks emit metrics and events, handlers push time series to Graphite via carbon relay → Whisper DB replication, and Grafana builds KPI dashboards. System handles hundreds of thousands of metrics/sec, uses HTTP checks against the Graphite API for alerting, and the BOSH-released Sensu client keeps new nodes automatically monitored.
