10gen Releases MongoDB Monitoring System

Company Also Recently Announced $20 Million Funding Round

Oct. 1, 2011 11:44 PM

10gen, the company behind the open source MongoDB, has put out the first free NoSQL monitoring and alerting solution, which facilitates proactive alerts and support, often before a trouble ticket is filed.

The cloud-based SaaS widgetry has been in beta since March with the company's 200 commercial customers and now 10gen has released the stuff to the community.

MongoDB Monitoring Service (MMS) makes monitoring MongoDB clusters easier. It auto-discovers MongoDB nodes and transmits metrics on memory use, database connections, index misses, read and write operations, memory consumption and CPU usage, sending alerts if failures are detected.

The SaaS delivery mechanism removes time-consuming processes such as server setup or configurations management.

10gen originally built the widgetry for its own sanity.

10gen recently announced a $20 million financing round from existing investors Sequoia Capital, Flybridge Capital and Union Square Ventures. That makes $31.4 million altogether.

The start-up claims Disney, Ericsson, Viacom, Telefonica and SAP as customers.
