Hi Thrift users, I'd like to announce that Packetbeat, the open source application monitoring system, now supports monitoring and performance management for Thrift services. You can read more about it in this blog post:
http://packetbeat.com/blog/apache-thrift-monitoring.html Packetbeat works by sniffing the traffic and decoding the messages, which means that it can make performance metrics with zero latency overhead. Providing the Thrift IDL files to the Packetbeat agent is optional. The binary Thrift messages include the called method name and enough structure information to decode the messages without the need of the IDL files. However, if you provide the IDL files, Packetbeat can also resolve the service name, the arguments and exceptions names. Any feedback on or off list is welcome!
