BEAM Oban Ecto Phoenix Framework Phoenix LiveView

In the article by Alexandre Moreira Xavier, he outlines the significance of metrics for observability within applications, highlighting the Elixir and Phoenix ecosystem's readiness with libraries such as 'Telemetry' and 'Telemetry Metrics'. To monitor and visualize application metrics effectively, Xavier advises using the integration of Prometheus, a system monitoring and alert tool, with Grafana, a data visualization platform. He recommends using the PromEx library for easy Elixir app integration with Prometheus metrics and Grafana dashboards. The article walks through setting up a new Phoenix application, configuring PromEx, adding Prometheus as the data collector, and linking it to Grafana for data visualization. The process includes creating metrics endpoints, running Prometheus locally or via Docker, and populating Grafana dashboards through PromEx's dashboard automation feature. Xavier emphasizes the ease of adding plugins in PromEx and concludes with anticipation for building custom plugins, which will be discussed in a following article.
