Open Falcon A Distributed and High Performance Monitoring System
summary
Open-Falcon is a modular, microservices monitoring stack that companies use in production to collect, store and alert on thousands of metrics; it uses a push model, message streaming between components and a Round-Robin-Archive to compress history so queries return fast. Claims include RRA returns one-year history for 100+ metrics in under 1s, 400+ built-in metrics with plugin/script collection, horizontal scaling per module, no critical single point of failure, and deployments monitoring ~40,000 services across 100+ companies.
