Why Sysdig Monitor for Custom Metrics?

Custom Metrics Formats

Prometheus Metric Collection

Collect, store, and query Prometheus metrics and labels. A lightweight Prometheus server is directly embedded into the Sysdig agent to facilitate metric collection.

JMX Metric Collection

Discover and retrieve JMX metrics from your Java virtual machines using the JMX protocol. Virtual machines will be polled to collect metrics like Heap Memory and Garbage collector.

StatsD Metric Collection

Collecting StatsD metrics is easy with an embedded StatsD collector. Point your library at our agent and see all your metrics in the context that is most helpful for you.
