Abstract - In the dynamic field of software development, De-vOps has become a critical tool for enhancing collaboration, streamlining processes, and accelerating delivery. However, monitoring and observability within DevOps environments pose significant challenges, often leading to delayed issue detection, inefficient troubleshooting, and compromised service quality. These issues stem from DevOps environments' complex and ever-changing nature, where traditional monitoring tools often fall short, creating blind spots that can conceal performance issues or system failures. This research addresses these challenges by proposing an innovative approach to improve monitoring and observability in DevOps environments. Our solution, Intelligent-Monitor, leverages realtime data collection, intelligent analytics, and automated anomaly detection powered by advanced tech-nologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence. The experimental results demonstrate that IntelligentMonitor effectively manages data overload, reduces alert fatigue, and improves system visibility, thereby enhancing performance and reliability. For instance, the average CPU usage across all components showed a decrease of 9.10%, indicating improved CPU efficiency. Similarly, memory utilization and network traffic showed an average increase of 7.33% and 0.49%, respectively, suggesting more efficient use of resources. By providing deep insights into system performance and facilitating rapid issue resolution, this research contributes to the DevOps community by offering a comprehensive solution to one of its most pressing challenges. This fosters more efficient, reliable, and resilient software development and delivery processes.
Components The key components that would need to be implemented are:
- Data Collection - Collect performance metrics and log data from the distributed system components. Could use technology like Kafka or telemetry libraries.
- Data Processing - Preprocess and aggregate the collected data into an analyzable format. Could use Spark for distributed data processing.
- Anomaly Detection - Apply machine learning algorithms to detect anomalies in the performance metrics. Could use isolation forest or LSTM models.
- Alerting - Generate alerts when anomalies are detected. It could integrate with tools like PagerDuty.
- Visualization - Create dashboards to visualize system health and key metrics. Could use Grafana or Kibana.
- Data Storage - Store the collected metrics and log data. Could use Elasticsearch or InfluxDB.
Implementation Details The core of the implementation would involve the following:
- Setting up the data collection pipelines.
- Building and training anomaly detection ML models on historical data.
- Developing a real-time data processing pipeline.
- Creating an alerting framework that ties into the ML models.
- Building visualizations and dashboards.
The code would need to handle scaled-out, distributed execution for production environments.
Proper code documentation, logging, and testing would be added throughout the implementation.
Usage Examples Usage examples could include:
- Running the data collection agents on each system component.
- Visualizing system metrics through Grafana dashboards.
- Investigating anomalies detected by the ML models.
- Tuning the alerting rules to minimize false positives.
- Correlating metrics with log data to troubleshoot issues.
