What if Mesos Metrics Collection was a Snap?

Monitoring and metrics collection is essential to any production service. This need becomes even more apparent when operating clusters of hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of machines. Although a number of commercial and cloud-based solutions already exist, an open source cluster manager like Mesos should have a complementary open source telemetry collector. Fortunately, Mesos provides hundreds of metrics on a per-service (master and agent), per-framework, and per-container level via its APIs.

This talk will cover the basics of Mesos metrics collection, introduce Snap, a powerful, open source telemetry framework for modern infrastructures, as well as an open source plugin for Snap developed specifically to collect Mesos cluster metrics. Topics include:
Mesos metrics APIs
Snap architecture and intended usage
Process of developing a Snap plugin
Demo metrics collection
