Sysdig Monitor Reviews

Sysdig Monitor offers robust Docker support, native integration with Mesos, Marathon, AWS, and K8s. Users value its log capture ability for incidents, thorough infrastructure visibility, and user-friendly dashboards. It enables detailed process examination and supports Prometheus queries, reducing vendor lock-in. Ease of migrating dashboards from Grafana and its reliable alerting system have cut costs while ensuring confident system monitoring. Responsive support enhances developer confidence.

• "Sysdig Monitor has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing operational costs and improving our ability to monitor our systems effectively."
• "Sysdig Monitor impressed me with its in-depth visibility into my infrastructure."
• "Docker containers are completely supported, kind of like "first class citizens"."

Sysdig Monitor requires an interface that is more user-friendly initially. Automation for alert actions and clearer event reporting in Mesos environments are needed. The incorporation of APM capabilities and OpenTelemetry support is lacking, limiting its functionality. A built-in feature for system call frequency analysis would be beneficial. Windows installation poses challenges. Users express the need for a unified platform for comprehensive observability, including logging and application-level monitoring, which Sysdig Monitor currently does not fulfill.

• "Sysdig Monitor could be improved, particularly regarding application monitoring."
• "I had difficulty installing Sysdig Monitor on Windows."
• ""Events" reporting (errors, crashes, etc.) is not clear at all in a Mesos environment (i.e., it's not clear what specific container is the one that went down). In a Docker Compose environment, it may be way better."
