From silence to signals: Data management and monitoring at The National Library of the Netherlands

To secure its mission to preserve and provide Dutch literature for the digital age, The National Library of the Netherlands made a major shift from a static data environment to an interactive, signal-rich monitoring platform. In this talk, Platform Engineer Gerard van Engelen will talk about how implementing Grafana visualization, metrics from Mimir, and logs from Loki helped The National Library of the Netherlands gain valuable insights into its digital landscape, from performance issues to security issues. The National Library of the Netherlands’ journey serves as a compelling case study for other cultural and historical institutions aiming to modernize their data management and monitoring systems.
