Real-time Monitoring and Analysis of Edge and Cloud Resources

Abstract

As Edge and Cloud platforms increasingly become the basis for hosting applications, monitoring systems need to be able to monitor both the hosts and the deployed applications. Ensuring seamless monitoring of Edge hosts is the most crucial factor, regardless of whether they are virtual machines, Raspberry Pis, or even typical personal computers. The application orchestration process could benefit greatly from monitoring systems, as they could serve as the main source of characterizing hosts and reporting metrics related to users and platforms. This paper introduces a Prometheus-based monitoring stack that is able to monitor both applications and resources on Kubernetes clusters. This monitoring stack has been tested and is already in use within the ACCORDION platform to efficiently monitor applications, regardless of their development unit and host types.
