Weekly Snap: NoSQL in MySQL, a Project at Deutsche Post & a New Apprentice

von Amanda Mailer | Okt 10, 2011 | WeeklySnap

3 – 7 October thanked the monitoring team at Deutsche Post for being such a pleasure to work with and passed on news of the latest NoSQL/MySQL developments. Also, our newest junior addition in the development team Johannes, shared his first impressions and anticipation of all that is to come on board NETWAYS.
Birger followed with the realisation that the Deutsche Post was more electronic and less paper-laden than often thought. In a consulting project in Einbeck, he helped oil the IT infrastructure that ensures the paper post’s timely delivery. Implementing a mirrored monitoring environment with Icinga Core, Icinga Web, LConf, Business Process View, Grapher and Icinga Reporting, the end result offered something for both admins and management.
Meanwhile, Sebastian forwarded news of a preview release to provide NoSQL access methods in MySQL. Via memcached, the InnoDB Storage Engine can be accessed through the InnoDB APIs, bypassing the SQL Optimizer and Query Processing. This enables the best performance, while still offering InnoDB features such as row level locking and transactions, bringing the best of both worlds together. More information can be found on the InnoDB blog, as well as an installation guide.

Weekly Snap: MySQL to XML, OSDC and DWTV

von Amanda Mailer | Nov 30, 2009 | WeeklySnap

Nov 23-27 closed the month with a few acronyms. From MySQL to XML conversions, to an OSDC Call for Papers and an innovative distributed monitoring project at Deutsche Welle.
For those who’ve been scouring the net for scripts to convert MySQL tables into XML, Bernd E demonstrated two methods within MySQL itself. Option -xml/-X and a simple mysql dump do the trick and have been available at least since version 4.
Christian F then brought the spotlight onto the next Open Source Data Center Conference. Planned for the 26th to 27th May 2010, he made an OSDC Call for Papers covering clustering and high availability, load balancing, security and firewalls, monitoring, change and configuration management. For those who these terms ring bells, we look forward to hearing from you. Find out more at www.netways.de/osdc.

Project of the month: Centrally controlled yet independent distributed monitoring

von Amanda Mailer | Nov 27, 2009 | Kunden

November 2009: Offering media services in over 30 languages, the internationally acclaimed Deutsche Welle was seeking to monitor their equally diverse IT. Large and distributed across two offices in Bonn and Berlin, the broadcaster needed to consolidate their disparate monitoring activities into one enterprise system. A central overview was essential, as was exceptionally high availability. Deutsche Welle offered NETWAYS the opportunity to suggest a solution- and an innovative one was proudly delivered.
Since monitoring needed to be self sufficient at each location while being centrally accessible, the consulting team designed a multiple redundant system. Two monitoring clusters were implemented in each city and integrated by a single MySQL cluster. In a master/master failover, each database was also physically located in their respective city. This amounted to two physical Nagios servers and one database at each office, which could operate independently if ever a break in connection were to occur. Furthermore, two physical Nagios servers at each location gave additional guarantee of constant availability. By using the MySQL cluster as a kind of interchange hub, monitoring was centralised without compromising operational independence.

Upon implementation, an array of Nagios addons and plugins were also employed. From NSClient++, SNMPTT and NagVis to EventDB, NagiosGrapher and Business Process Addon, Deutsche Welle was fully equipped by the end of the project. All that is left is a few days training to equip the staff with the skills for a similar operational independence.
