Get the most out of PRTG and Flowmon by bringing them under one GUI and allowing their complementary functionalities to work together. Until recently, infrastructure and network monitoring were seen as rivals, but today they are rather viewed as complementary technologies. Seek proof with Gartner - they used to be pitted against each other in the Magic Quadrant, but that has now been replaced by the Market Guide, which explains the differences and strong points but does not compare.

As a Customer Advocate, I talk to a lot of prospective Honeycomb users who want to understand how observability fits into their existing Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practice. While I have enough of a familiarity with the discipline to get myself into trouble, I wanted to learn more about what SREs do in their day-to-day work so that I’d be better able to help them determine if Honeycomb is a good fit for their needs.

We recently announced the general availability of our Elasticsearch Service API. APIs help to automate tasks such as creating and scaling deployments, integrating with existing workflows, and testing. The Elasticsearch Service API supports the Open API Specification, which allows you to use tools like Swagger to generate software development kits (SDKs) in any programming language. You can import the API spec onto Postman and create a Postman Collection to create a test suite.
