Opening Remarks - Richard Hartmann, Community Director, Grafana Labs
A
Welcome
welcome
welcome
to
yet
another,
unfortunately
virtual
edition
of
promcom.
A
Hopefully
maybe
next
year
will
be
different.
So
let
me
see,
oh,
you
can
have
it
perfect,
so
there's
a
little
bit
of
housekeeping,
but
there's
a
little
bit
there's
a
lot
of
of
mental
keeping.
A
Not
not
to
start
on
a
bad
note.
Actually,
I
want
to
end
the
initial
intro
on
an
uplifting
note.
Yet
I
do
think
that
we
need
to
acknowledge
that
that
the
last
few
months
were
complete
and
other
whole,
and
it's
just
not
good.
If
you're
one
of
the
few
who
are
vaccinated,
you're
highly
privileged
myself,
I
don't
even
know
when
I
get
the
shot,
but
even
that
means
I'm
pretty
rich
because
I
live
in
germany
and
I'm
pretty
much
before
most
others.
The
kovacs
scheme
will
run
into
2023.
A
That's
the
current
planning,
so
just
to
give
you
a
rough
indication
of
how
long
others
will
get
to
wait
for
something
where
they
have
no
chance
of
of
bypassing
it's
horrible,
which
means
please
reach
out
to
your
friends,
family
co-workers,
especially
if
they're
in
regions
which
are
not
yet
vaccinated,
especially
if
they're
in
hearted
regions
like
india
or
brazil,
or
so
because
it's
super
easy
to
forget
in
in
the
daily
life.
A
Once
your
own
life
starts
reopening
that
others
are
way
worse
off
and
even
if
they're
vaccinated,
even
if
they're
in
in
the
country
which
which
already
has
all
all
the
vaccines
and
everything
it's
still
quite
likely,
that
they
took
a
hit
from
this
time.
So
yes,
please
reach
reach
out
to
them,
switching
to
things
which
feel
somewhat
mundane.
We
do
have
a
code
of
conduct.
We
follow
this
and
we
follow
it
quite
seriously
and
aggressively.
A
Also
if
you,
if
you
well,
it's
not
so
much
a
concern
here.
But
if,
if
your
question
becomes
more
of
a
statement,
it
will
be
shut
down
in
case
anything
goes
bad.
On
this
platform,
there
is
a
document
which
will
be
used
for
as
a
as
a
kind
of
watering
hole
in
case
anything
breaks.
A
So
I
also
tweeted
this
a
few
minutes
ago.
So
you
have
that
link.
I
will
also
share
it
in
chat
and
such
so
it's
just
making
its
rounds
yeah
and
that's
more
or
less
it.
So,
let's
walk
through
what
we'll
have
today.
A
Genius
so
right
after
this
this
initial
session,
we
will
have
someone
who
will
talk
about.
That's
me
I'll
talk
about
how
to
make
prometheus
as
as
a
wider
ecosystem
more
open.
There
is
a
several
bits
and
pieces
which
should
be
super
interesting,
there's
also
a
pretty
big
press
announcement
today,
so
yeah
stay
tuned.
A
For
that
julius,
we'll
be
talking
about
kind
of
compatibility
testing
because
more
as
more
and
more
people
or
vendors
and
projects
get
into
into
the
prometheus
ecosystem,
it
becomes
more
and
more
important
that
we,
as
as
the
upstream
project,
actually
asserting
that
users
get
the
same
experience
and
features
and
everything
throughout
the
complete
ecosystem.
A
Peter
we'll
be
talking
how
how
we,
how
we
add
grafana,
that's
migrated
cortex
to
the
to
basically
what
is
the
thanos
storage
backend,
which
was
a
huge
undertaking
on
our
end,
and
it
was
quite
good
and
kudos
to
the
thanos
people.
Then
we
have
bartik
and
annas
who
will
be
talking
about
automating
and
how
all
of
this
can
be
done
with
prometheus.
In
the
background,
then,
we
have
something
new,
which
is
a
sponsored
keynote
that
will
be
led
by
redhead,
but
we
looked
at
the
topic,
so
this
isn't
this.
A
This
will
not
be
a
pitch.
It's
just
a
technical
session
which
is
coming
through
through
this
mechanism,
then
observability
for
air
conditioners.
As
someone
who
is
who
built
a
data
center
right
before
doing
this,.
A
Oh
sorry,
I
just
got
poked
in
the
background,
so
that's
a
different.
That's
a
different
aspect
of
how
to
do
of
how
to
do
hvac
and
industrial
control
systems
through
through
the
premises
ecosystem,
but
also
super
interesting
one,
and
then
we
have
tom,
who
will
also
be
talking
about
all
the
compatibility
and
and
conform
the
compliance
things
this
time
from
the
premier's
remote
right
angle,
where
we
recently
published
a
specification.
A
So
we
now
have
a
real,
hard,
stable
version
of
prometheus
remote
right,
not
this
experimental
for
years,
which
will
also
a
allows
this
conformance,
testing
and
b.
It
will
allow
us
to
to
actually
start
iterating
on
top
of
what
we
currently
have,
of
course,
we're
nailing
down
what
we
have
without
taking
the
experimental
guarantees
away.
A
A
Then
we
have
bjern
who
will
be
talking
about
new
histograms.
As
most
of
you
will
know,
we
have
hard
boundaries
or
buckets
for
four
histograms
histograms
they're
relatively
low
resolution,
which
has
super
nice
properties
in
widely
distributed
fleets.
But
it's
also
not
super
nice.
If
you
want
to
drill
down
into
a
specific
subsample
or
into
a
specific,
tiny,
bucket
or
tiny
for
some
value
of,
but
tom
byron
will
be
talking
about.
All
of
this
there's
also
super
interesting
design
document
out.
I
hope
he'll
link
to
it
else.
We
can
do
it
in
the
chat.
A
Then
we
have
oh,
I
didn't
I
didn't.
I
didn't
practice
that
name
shreyas,
I
hope
and
gibbs
who
will
be
talking
about
how
to
use
aiml
to
to
actually
predict
what
would
be
good,
recording
rules
for
for
your
prometheus
system
and
then
at
the
end
we
have
dave.
Oh,
not
at
the
end,
we
have
david
talk
about
how
to
do
meta
monitoring,
which
is
who
guards
the
guardians.
A
Another
super
interesting
thing
now
we
have
another
sponsored
keynote,
but
again
it
will
not
be
a
a
stupid
sales
pitch
expect
technical
content,
and
then
we
have
the
great
tradition
of
lightning
talks.
Let
me
check
yeah.
I
can.
I
mean
you
can
read
it
yourself,
you
probably
already
read
it
yourself.
We
will
we
crammed
as
many
as
many
lightning
talks
into
into
the
thing
as
we
could
as
per
usual.
Unfortunately,
this
time
is
not
worth
writing
in,
but
that
will
soon
resume.
A
Then
you'll
see
this
sack
of
potatoes
again
and
at
the
end
we
have
a
birds
of
a
weather
session
where
we
can
just
have
an
open
discussion
about
everything,
prometheus
and
non-prometheus
and
in
particular
how,
if
you
have
a
not
exactly
green
field
deployment,
and
you
have
lots
of
old
stuff
as
well,
how
to
integrate
all
of
this
and
and
how
to
take
the
pain
off
of
not
having
promises
in
all
the
places
away,
and
I
mean
honestly
in
any
non-tiny
company,
you
always
have
at
least
two
systems
for
for
most
things,
so
this
is
just
reality,
so
one
minute
32
too
early,
I
think
I'll,
just
head
over
back
to
the
to
the
waiting
room.
A
You
need
to
register
for
ford
above.
Okay,
that's
a
good
point.
I
don't
know
if
that's
actually
possible,
but
we,
like,
I
don't
know
if
it's
possible
yet
or
at
the
moment.
We
can
also
figure
this
out
through
chat,
while,
while
we
have
this
session
so
yeah
40
seconds
to
go
so
I'll,
just
stop
babbling
and
see
you
in
a
few.
Thank
you.
