Who's using Blueflood?

[Alex Scammon]

Hey there blueflood-discuss,

If you're using blueflood for something at your company, let us know.  We know some of you out there, but we'd like to have some more idea about who's putting it to work and for what purposes.

Cheers,

I am creating a prototype ob Blueflood basically to ingest 5 min statistics and roll up the statistics to 15 min, 60 min, 1 day and 7 day granularity. But the ingestion of statistics will done by an adapter which polls for statistics from cassandra cache every 15 minutes.

15 min data should be kept for 3 months and 1 day, 1 week day must be persisted for an year.

I am able create poll based ingestion adapter and code changes to customize the granularities. I might use query layer as it is or I might plugin it into my REST API module.

I dont see any issue as of now. But I have to comment some of the test cases which are created against fixed granularities.

Thanks for this project. I'll update you if my project members consider this to go with.

Hey there Bala,

Great to hear you find Blueflood useful!  We'd love to help answer any questions you have.

I couldn't quite follow the full flow of data.  Is it something like:

Some system you're monitoring -> every five minute push to BF -> Rollups run -> every 15 minutes push to some other statistics analysis system?

Maybe I'm just getting confused at the 'cassandra cache' you mentioned -- is that the Cassandra that Blueflood is using or another Cassandra that you're using?

Cheers,

Hi Alex,

I gave demo of working prototype using Blueflood to entire team. They are impressed the way that it working and the progress that I have made. Thank you for a such a nice project.

Here I'll explain the flow.

Our application receives performance statistics of network devices every 5 min to a service say "statistics receiver". It does some business logic and keeps the relevent statistics in it's own Cassandra based cache(It is not persistent cache, we use Cassandra here like Ehcache). 

Statistics ingestion adapter to Blueflood polls the cached records every 15 min to ingest on Blueflood.

Then rollup runs with customized Blueflood to keep 15min, 60 min, 1 hour, 1 day and 1 week rollups.

Blueflood uses it's own cassandra node and it's unchanged.

And finally custom query adapter receives request messages from REST API.

As a whole I was able integrate Blueflood in OSGI bundle instead of standalone application.

Sounds cool!  Thanks for explaining the flow. 

Do you need to graph things in blueflood?  We have a graphite finder for blueflood that would allow you to use Grafana to graph things.
