2. Tracing • One ‘TraceContext’ across actors/ask • Builtin support for spray requests ◦ Even across hosts with X-Trace-Token hdr • Easy to expose to logback
3. Tracing
4. Tracing • Monitoring: ◦ Start/stop of TraceContext and segments ◦ Actor metrics (mailbox size, processing time etc) ◦ System metrics (CPU etc)
5. Dashboarding • Kamon -> DataDog • Kamon -> StatsD -> Graphite -> Grafana ◦ All in one convenient docker image :) • Grafana beats DataDog • Demotime!
6. What’s good • Simple core • Quick win: logback • Useful extensions (i.e. spray) outofthebox
7. What’s missing • Trace information lost in dashboards • Docs: high-quality but incomplete • Fairly new, some (superficial) quirks in supporting material
