SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Nomad orchestration and observability across Nomad clusters, enabling quick health assessment, deployment status checks, and incident investigation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Prometheus-based health metrics: query cluster health, allocations, and resource usage.
  • Nomad API access: fetch jobs, allocations, deployments, and logs via Nomad API.
  • Incident investigation workflow: investigate incidents by aggregating metrics and API data to build a timeline.

Quick Start

Use Nomad to check cluster health and inspect a specific job's allocations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I monitor Nomad cluster health and resource usage?

Monitor Nomad cluster health by querying Prometheus metrics to assess cluster status, allocations, and resource usage. This approach provides a quick overview of deployment reliability and performance across the orchestrated environment.

How do I fetch Nomad job logs and allocations via the API?

Fetch Nomad job logs and allocations by accessing the Nomad API or using pcurl-based commands. This retrieves specific job, allocation, and log information needed to inspect deployment status and investigate issues.

What's the best way to investigate incidents in a Nomad cluster?

Investigate Nomad incidents by aggregating Prometheus metrics and Nomad API data to build a comprehensive timeline. This workflow helps identify the root cause of health check failures and performance anomalies.

Can I check deployment status and health checks across multiple Nomad clusters?

Yes, you can check deployment status and apply health checks across multiple Nomad clusters. The system automates Nomad API access and Prometheus metrics querying to provide reliable orchestration and quick health assessments.

Do I need Prometheus to run Nomad incident investigations?

Prometheus is integral to the incident investigation workflow for querying health metrics. It aggregates cluster performance data alongside Nomad API outputs to build an accurate timeline of the event.

Why are my Nomad deployments failing health checks?

Nomad deployments may fail health checks due to resource exhaustion or allocation issues. Investigate these incidents by querying Prometheus metrics and fetching specific allocation logs via the Nomad API to identify the failure point.
