Redash: uma solução de monitoramento e análise de dados para gerenciamento de recursos em tempo real em nuvens privadas.

Abstract

The Laboratório de Sistemas Distribuídos (LSD) is responsible for managing the private cloud at UASC/UFCG. In order to maintain this private cloud, the LSD faced challenges in managing the cloud resources, especially in visualizing the data and generating new reports for those responsible for the projects that use these resources. The tool used previously was Shylock, but it presented difficulties in generating reports on the amount and consumption of cloud resources because it only generated one report per day. In addition, reporting was a complex process that required the creation of a new Jinja model and the coding of variables. Given the shortcomings identified in the current system, Redash was chosen as the platform to address them. Redash solves the difficulty of visualizing the analyzed data by creating dashboards for real-time visualization and monitoring of cloud resources. By incorporating the information from the dashboards created in Redash into the cloud management and monitoring workflow, the ease of making decisions based on actual, up-to-date data has enabled better decision making in the management of cloud resources.
