Angular applications often grow in complexity, making it challenging to monitor performance and troubleshoot issues effectively. Enter OpenTelemetry: a powerful, vendor-neutral framework for distributed tracing and metrics collection. This guide will walk you through implementing OpenTelemetry in your Angular projects, enhancing your ability to observe and optimize your applications.

Node.js is one of the most popular frameworks for server-side programming. As it's based on JavaScript, it's easy to learn and widely used by both enterprises and startups. However, Node.js applications can be prone to issues like memory leaks and high CPU loads due to its dynamically typed, single-threaded nature. This makes performance monitoring crucial for Node.js applications.

OpenTelemetry is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation(CNCF) project aimed at standardizing the way we instrument applications for generating telemetry data(logs, metrics, and traces). However, OpenTelemetry does not provide storage and visualization for the collected telemetry data. APM stands for Application Performance Monitoring or Application Performance Management. APM tools help engineering teams effectively monitor their applications by monitoring key metrics for application performance.

OpenTelemetry is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation(CNCF) project aimed at standardizing the way we instrument applications for generating telemetry data(logs, metrics, and traces). However, OpenTelemetry does not provide storage and visualization for the collected telemetry data. For visualizing OpenTelemetry data, you need an OpenTelemetry UI. The data collected by OpenTelemetry can be sent to a backend of your choice, which can then be visualized.

Single Pane of Glass (SPOG) monitoring is a term used to denote monitoring applications with a single tool that provides a comprehensive set of dashboards for the entire software system of an organization. Managing multiple monitoring tools for different aspects of the IT system becomes too cumbersome. And that’s how the concept of a single pane of glass monitoring evolved. Most modern applications are now built using distributed software systems.

OpenTelemetry is an open-source standard for instrumenting cloud-native applications for generating different types of telemetry data. A robust observability framework set up using OpenTelemetry can help tremendously while troubleshooting software in production. Nginx is one of the most widely adopted web servers. Most often, nginx is used as a reverse proxy. It serves the frontend or backend applications behind the reverse proxy.

Health check monitoring is a critical practice for maintaining reliable and high-performing systems. It allows you to proactively identify and address issues before they impact your users. This guide explores the fundamentals of health check monitoring, its importance in modern systems, and practical strategies for implementation. You will also learn how HTTP endpoints can be monitored with OpenTelemetry.

It is the last day of SigNoz Launch Week 2.0, and we’re excited to announce improvements in the logs module of SigNoz. Searching and filtering for logs to debug issues is one of the top critical workflows any developer uses. We have gathered feedback from our users and shipped some important features that focus on speeding up log searches, refining the filtering process, and enhancing the overall log analysis experience.

Today, we’re excited to introduce two key features that will help users with alerts in SigNoz - Alerts History and Scheduled Maintenance. These features are designed to help teams gain deeper insights into their alerts, better manage recurring issues, and streamline alert silencing during planned downtimes. Let’s dig in deeper.
