[Cialug] Performance recording

[Jeffrey Ollie]

If you've never tried Prometheus out it's worth a look. It excels at
recording fine-grained performance data, especially if you can instrument
the service you're trying to observe. Many open-source projects are already
capable of producing data for Prometheus and it's not terribly difficult to
do the same for your own code.

I believe that Nagios (and forks/derivatives) still suffers from having to
do a fork/exec every time it wants to do a check. I could be wrong but
that's why I gave up on Nagios et. al. a long time ago. Does it still use
RRD for recording time series data? RRD was pretty inflexible in terms of
querying and horrible at maintaining long-term data.
