Effective management of a Databricks environment requires continuous monitoring and analysis of key operational metrics. If you’ve ever wondered how to achieve this, we have the solution - Databricks Overwatch. Overwatch is an open-source tool that provides full visibility into what’s happening within your Databricks environment.

During this session:
- You will learn the theory behind Overwatch – what it exactly is, which real problems it solves, and why it’s worth implementing.
- Step by step, you will configure your own Overwatch job - you’ll see how easy it is to start collecting key data, from installation through integration with the Databricks platform.
- You will discover the power of dashboards and visualizations – you’ll explore example dashboards that help you quickly identify issues, optimize costs, and boost cluster performance.
- Lessons learned from production - you’ll receive valuable tips and insights gained from deploying Overwatch in large-scale production environments.

By the end of the session, you’ll be ready to independently implement and fully leverage the potential of Databricks Overwatch in your environment.
