We will also discuss the why behind this move and where we are headed.</p> <p>Heka is an open source stream processing software system developed by Mozilla. Heka is a “Swiss Army Knife” type tool for data processing, useful for a wide variety of different tasks, such as:</p> <ul> <li><p>Loading and parsing log files from a file system.</p></li> <li><p>Accepting statsd type metrics data for aggregation and forwarding to upstream time series data stores such as graphite or InfluxDB.</p></li> <li><p>Launching external processes to gather operational data from the local system.</p></li> <li><p>Performing real time analysis, graphing, and anomaly detection on any data flowing through the Heka pipeline.</p></li> <li><p>Shipping data from one location to another via the use of an external transport (such as AMQP) or directly (via TCP).</p></li> <li><p>Delivering processed data to one or more persistent data stores.</p></li> </ul> <p><a href="https://github.com/mozilla-services/heka">https://github.com/mozilla-services/heka</a></p> <p>Nathan is a sysadmin by trade who's been into Linux, automation and data for the last 10 years and is currently working at Treehouse as a systems developer.</p> <p>Many will head to the Lucky Lab at 915 SE Hawthorne Blvd. after the meeting.</p> <p>Rideshares Available</p> <p>PLUG is open to everyone and does not tolerate abusive behavior on its mailing lists or at its meetings.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://pdxlinux.org">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
