Designing and developing an analytics tool using Prometheus in a company setting
| Resumo: | In the past few years, due to the exponential growth of technology of the world, there has been an increasing interest in the field of data analytics. This interest comes from how important data is to everyday life, since data can significantly benefit and influence a lot of different areas, from security to health or even sports. Large amounts of data allows analysts to predict possible outcomes, evaluate behavioral patterns and study trends. The main goal of this Master’s thesis is to show that a data analytics tool can also be very useful in a company setting, since there is a considerable amount of data, generated by the software tools of the company, that can be collected and used to improve the services provided by the company. The Master’s work here reported begun with a comprehensive study on different kind of analytics tools and also an investigation of the company’s product. After this investigation process, the next step was to design and implement a custom analytics tool that uses Prometheus as a basis and takes into account the requirements of the company. The tool required the implementation of various processes starting with the collection of the generated data, the transformation and cleaning of that data and finally a process that provides different types of data visualizations. These visualizations present relevant knowledge to customers and also to different departments inside the company. While the implemented analytics tool met all of the proposed requirements and passed the tests made to verify it, there will be a need to further refine and improve the tool’s capabilities, specifically regarding scalability and data storage. This document provides a better understanding of the use of data analytics in a company setting by showcasing the full process of designing and developing a custom analytics tool using Prometheus. Through this document, it is possible to see that using product generated data and providing data visualizations is beneficial for the company. |
