EPISODE TRANSCRIPT:
Derek Robinson 00:00:02 Welcome to Data Points, a podcast by InterSystems Learning Services.

And on today's episode, I'll welcome back to the podcast Luca Ravazzolo, Product Manager for Cloud and Containers here at InterSystems, to talk about Systems Alerting and Monitoring in InterSystems IRIS.
Derek Robinson 00:00:39 Welcome to Episode Ten of Data Points by InterSystems Learning Services. Before we get started, I wanted to give a quick reminder to subscribe to the podcast, using the links at datapoints.intersystems.com. You can find links for Apple, Spotify, Google, and Stitcher there. I also wanted to mention that the Developer Community, community.intersystems.com, is the place to interact with us about future topics for the podcast. I typically post every episode as a Developer Community post, and you can feel free to leave comments on those posts. I might also make a discussion post at some point, asking for more ideas to try to give our listeners a chance to submit topics they would like to see covered. So feel free to join the conversation. Back to the episode, I'm joined today by Luca Ravazzolo. You might remember Luca from Episode Two of Data Points, where we covered Kubernetes. Today, Luca is telling us all about Systems Alerting and Monitoring, SAM for short, which is a new component of InterSystems IRIS that you can try out.
Derek Robinson 00:01:39 All right. And welcome back to the podcast Luca Ravazzolo, joining us for the first time since way back on Episode Two, I think it was, of Data Points. Luca, how's it going?
Luca Ravazzolo 00:01:47 It's going very well, Derek, thank you very much. Yeah, it was early days and podcasts from then, right?
Derek Robinson 00:01:53 Yeah, exactly.

So Luca, I know that one of your areas of expertise here at InterSystems is cloud and containers technology. And so what we're going to talk about today is related in some ways, but also a little bit into the system administration area, and that is SAM, or Systems Alerting and Monitoring. So Luca, can you tell us first for the audience, what is SAM? And you know, as we've mentioned offline, it's coming out very soon for InterSystems users.
Luca Ravazzolo 00:02:29 Yes, absolutely. Yeah. We are counting the hours. So, hopefully
everybody can start playing with SAM with the preview that will be launching soon. So System Alerting and Monitoring, or as we call it in a more friendly way, SAM, for short, is just a simplified way of monitoring your InterSystems IRIS clusters. And we wanted to make it very simple. That is really is the main objective. And you know, the reason for that is because we are painfully aware that there are many sites and installation a
