Monitoring is critical for running a reliable and performant cloud environment. Apache CloudStack provides rich APIs and metrics, but turning this data into actionable insights requires a modern observability stack. In this session, Kiran demonstrates how to build a complete monitoring solution for CloudStack using Prometheus, Alertmanager, and Grafana ā the Grafana stack. He walks through the architecture for collecting and visualizing CloudStack metrics, including: - Configuring Prometheus to scrape CloudStack metrics (via API or exporters). - Tracking VM, host, storage, and network utilization. - Building intuitive Grafana dashboards for operators and tenants. - Setting up automated alerts for capacity thresholds and failures. - Viewers also gain insights into key advantages of this approach: - Unified Visibility: Single-pane-of-glass view for CloudStack management servers, hypervisors, and system VMs. - Proactive Operations: Early detection of capacity bottlenecks, API latency, and infrastructure anomalies. - Scalability: Easily extend monitoring as CloudStack regions/zones grow. - Automation-Friendly: Integrate alerts with ticketing systems or autoscaling workflows. - Open & Flexible: Fully open-source, customizable dashboards with support for long-term metric retention. ------------------- The CloudStack Collaboration Conference 2025 took place in November 19-21 in Milan, Italy, bringing together CloudStack users, developers, and operators from 40+ countries. This annual, in-person event provided a unique opportunity for the global CloudStack community to connect, collaborate, and help shape the future of the open-source platform. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our sponsors for their support in making this event possible: ShapeBlue, US Signal, LINBIT, StorPool, CYSO Cloud, DIMSI, CDLAN, Your.Online, Ampere, Stack Console, Yotta, proIO and weSystems. ---------------------- Registration is now open for #CloudStackCollab 2026, taking place in Edinburgh, Scotland, on November 18 - 20.
