Big Data/Software Engineer

Responsibilities:

Using satlstack developed a monitoring/automation solution that leverages the saltstack transport
Created a monitoring program that can be used to send monitoring data to masters
Designed a system that can be used to listen for this event data and store it in any DB/schema on master
Using this system I am able to monitor system statistics, resource usage, network information in real time
Designed in a way that salt is not being called to do any action to start the monitoring state it remands idle
Developed salt sls files to take advantage of this monitoring data being sent over the saltstack transport
Using this system saltstack only actions events it sees from the monitoring data or supplement data
Saltstack remains idle as the software solution ties into the transport only
This system leaves saltstack in a usable state and not in state lock
Developed sls files, grains, pillars, scheduler events and runners for day to day use
Developed targeting grains for more granular control
Created runners to be used with scheduled events to send results back over transport and into the DB
All actions of the saltstack are monitored and stored in a DB for PCI compliance
