Four Ways to Simplify Database Management

Blue Medora CTO, Mike Kelly sits down with The Cloud Podcast to discuss current complexities when monitoring hybrid-cloud environments and how BindPlane was built to achieve observability across dispersed cloud technologies, legacy on-premise workloads, & sprawling microservices.

Google Stackdriver and BindPlane will share how to increase observability in Stackdriver for your logs and metrics from all datacenters through BindPlane.

Today’s modern IT environment is complex, mixed, and difficult to monitor from a single location. Google Stackdriver customers needed a solution that could easily combine on-prem and cloud monitoring from multiple database providers into a single view.

Stackdriver and BindPlane from Blue Medora together bring an in-depth hybrid-cloud, multi-cloud and on-premises view into a single dashboard, connecting health and performance signals from a wide variety of Google and non-GCP sources. BindPlane’s managed log and metrics streaming capability simplifies extending Stackdriver’s observability to enterprise customer data centers and other public clouds, allowing Stackdriver customers to monitor metrics and logs from a single view within Stackdriver.

Join Seth Vargo, Engineer, Google, and Craig Lee, Chief Systems Architect, BindPlane at Blue Medora for a live webinar on Tuesday, December 17th at 11 AM EST. They will present the relationship and increased functionality for Stackdriver customers sharing how they can:

- Increase visibility by bringing your entire enterprise stack into a single view
- Stream both metrics and logs in real-time without an agent
- Achieve complete SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) observability
- Understand and quickly diagnose health and performance issues

The webinar will include a demo of BindPlane for Stackdriver and will be followed by a live Q&A.

Welcome to BindPlane! Follow along as we take you through a first time setup for BindPlane Logs with Google Stackdriver.

Today we will take you through a demo on how to monitor 3rd party databases in GCP stackdriver using Blue Medora's BindPlane and how to identify and solve problems you may run into. For more details visit our website at https://bluemedora.com/products/bindplane/

We continue to take you through the demo on how to monitor 3rd party databases in GCP Stackdriver using Blue Medora's BindPlane and detail how you can use Logs with Stackdriver to monitor databases like Oracle. For more details visit our website at https://bluemedora.com/products/bindplane/.

Persistent data management is challenging, especially for companies experiencing fast growth or volatility in data proliferation. Performance telemetry is vital for operating databases like PostgreSQL, Oracle, and SAP HANA. Viewing third-party database telemetry in the context of a full Google Cloud environment allows you to understand impact and relationships. Attendees will learn how to use Stackdriver to monitor third-party databases along with Google Cloud resources at a depth that allows them to tune database performance and solve application problems more quickly.

Large enterprises run several (up to 20+) monitoring tools. Despite the number of tools available, teams struggle when it comes to overall visibility into their systems, because of the complexity of applications and services.

Attendees will learn how to break down silos in tooling, metric, and log data collection. They will see how using Google Stackdriver improves cross-team collaboration, reduces alert fatigue, eliminates war rooms and shortens mean-time-to-recovery (MTTR). Attendees will learn best practices for monitoring large-scale, complex, dynamic and distributed systems using Stackdriver. They will also see several new full-stack visualizations that will drastically reduce troubleshooting time.
