Everyone is using Prometheus in their infrastructure, but who is using Prometheus in their game server? In gaming, servers are a critical component of the industry's success. The gaming industry is highly profitable and the enabling technology is critical to its success. They also carry a great responsibility in maintaining quality of service (QoS), where a drop in the latency or in the computing power, especially in multiplayer games, seriously affects user experience. can be critical. In this talk, you will learn how to set up and monitor a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive server with Prometheus. We will show the installation and configuration of the Prometheus server and the following exporters: - Node exporter: to monitor the infrastructure metrics. - CAdvisor: to monitor the usage of the containers. - SRCDS Exporter: to monitor the game server metrics. With all these exporters, apart from monitoring the game itself, we will have visibility into the node and the applications on it, to be sure that the VM is running everything at an optimal service level and avoids extra costs in our cloud bill.
