We are proud to announce the next generation of our platform, Nexthink Experience™, a cloud-native solution that equips IT with the ability to proactively manage Digital Employee Experience (DEX) for continuous optimization. With a groundbreaking set of new capabilities, IT no longer has to struggle to answer the question “how do I solve this issue?” For the first time, they can prioritize issues, pinpoint causes, and resolve computing problems across their entire infrastructure.

In this current age of the Internet, it’s a common practice to build a website to run your online business. With the networks all around the world, theoretically, you can do business boundlessly. However, like each country has its boundary, the world of Internet is not a world without any control. In fact, every country has its own laws and rules toward this virtual world. And the case is especially different, when China’s Internet environment is involved.

Isn’t all logging pretty much the same? Logs appear by default, like magic, without any further intervention by teams other than simply starting a system… right? While logging may seem like simple magic, there’s a lot to consider. Logs don’t just automatically appear for all levels of your architecture, and any logs that do automatically appear probably don’t have all of the details that you need to successfully understand what a system is doing.

This post is part of a series that examines some of the fundamentals of creating, utilizing, and managing Tanzu Kubernetes clusters with the Tanzu Kubernetes Grid (TKG) Service for vSphere. If you need a primer to understand the basic concepts, make sure you read vSphere 7 — Introduction to Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Clusters. And if you haven’t already, this would also be a good time to read An Elevated View of the Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Service Architecture, the first post in the series.

If I asked you to describe Splunk, you’d likely reply with something about it being really good (the best!) at gathering and searching logs. You’re right! But while that’s true, you may not know Splunk is also tops at gathering and analyzing metrics. Putting the two together is very powerful; logs (events, more generically) and metrics go together like cookies and milk!

Very few things available online are truly free of cost. If you don’t pay with cash, chances are you are paying with your personal information or other data. The Chrome web store is filled with free extensions that users install on their browsers to enhance their online experience. However, more and more of these extensions are being discovered and removed from the store due to their malicious intent.

Have you ever wanted to update all your errors at once, or set defaults for incoming errors? Well, we are releasing some helpful tools for error management that we call Honeybadger Actions.

At LogicMonitor, we are continuously improving our platform with regards to performance and scalability. One of the key features of the LogicMonitor platform is the capability of post-processing the data returned by monitored systems using data not available in the raw output, i.e. complex datapoints. As complex datapoints are computed by LogicMonitor itself after raw data collection, it is one of the most computationally intensive parts of LogicMonitor’s metrics processing pipeline.

In our article on SLOs, we discussed the need for service level indicators to be relevant to the users’ experience. By consolidating a number of internal metrics into one indicator that reflects the typical use of the service, we can ensure that meeting our SLO means keeping users happy. A good way to think about this is by looking at the user’s experience or journey.

Many enterprises have already adopted Kubernetes or have a Kubernetes migration plan in place, making it clear that the platform is here to stay. While it provides a lot of benefits to its users, to take advantage of them, you need to thoroughly learn Kubernetes and how it works in production. Typically, the most difficult aspects of Kubernetes are learned through experience solving real-world problems.
