Keeping your distributed systems running smoothly has never been easy. To that end, Healthwatch for VMware Tanzu created an “out of the box” option for tracking the health of your app platform. The module proved to be a big upgrade from homegrown monitoring toolchains. Platform teams have since come to rely on Healthwatch’s curated indicators, alerts, and visualizations.
Automation of operational tasks frees the workforce to strategize and innovate in their respective quarters and develop new mechanisms to accelerate an organization’s overall performance. That paved way for low code platforms to become a new reality in the realm of app development. Microsoft’s Powerapps is one such platform whose usage has flared up in recent years as a solution that enables app building with zero knowledge of codes and programming.
Returning to the workplace post-COVID-19 will require a careful balance of coordination, sensitivity, and logistics. You may be grappling with questions such as: Our Back to Work webinar series can help you think through these questions and more to ensure proper COVID management once you’re back in the workplace.
Android is arguably the most ubiquitous operating system in the world. Whether it’s a tablet, phone, folding phone, computer, TV, or IoT device, chances are you’ve interacted with Android OS. And to help developers get full visibility into how their customers experience Android’s myriad applications, we’re extending Performance to Android.
We recently launched the public preview of a new tool that lets anyone dashboard anything – for free. Meet Dashboard Server! You can download it free because we wanted to get our incredible dashboards in the hands of more people. The SCOM community know us well but our dashboards are perfect for so many use cases beyond System Center monitoring. And if you love them as much as we think you will, all we ask in return is that you share that love by spreading the word.
In a previous post I explained how to send metrics to Logz.io Infrastructure monitoring with Prometheus—now let’s analyze them by building Prometheus dashboards and visualizations in our metrics UI! Once you’ve started to send metric data to Logz.io, how do you visualize and interpret that data so that it’s useful for you? Logz.io Infrastructure Monitoring provides powerful querying and visualization of your data.
Windows event logs are important for security, troubleshooting, and compliance. When you analyze your logs, you can monitor and report on file access, network connections, unauthorized activity, error messages, and unusual network and system behavior. However, Windows servers produce tens of thousands of log entries every day.
Monitoring has always been a crucial operation in a software development cycle. This is mainly because of the complexity of industry-level IT and consumer-facing product development. Additionally, there is an ever-growing demand for rapid upgrades in products. To meet these requirements, streamlined performance and stability have become more important than ever; and without effective monitoring practices, they appear difficult to achieve.
We all want our monitoring systems to alert us when things go wrong. While it’s important to get alerts in the event of a failure or latency problem on something specific such as a SQL database, it’s actually just as important to not receive alerts from too many specific sources in the same alerting channel. If our monitoring system starts to fatigue us, we will ignore alerts until the phone calls and Emails from end users start letting us know a service is impaired or unavailable.
