This is the second post in the series about "secret" elmah.io features. While reading the first post before this one is not required, I highly recommend you also check it out. In this post, I'll introduce you to the correlation features available in elmah.io.

Good software development teams are focused on outputs, and can bring key metrics to bear that illustrate just what the engineering organization is building on a daily, monthly and yearly basis. Developer productivity is often assessed retrospectively: if the team is hitting DORA metrics, we assume everything in the lifecycle before production is sound. But the best teams dig deeper, and aim to solve the problem backwards as well as forwards by looking at the process as well as the results.

Kubernetes probes are essential tools for maintaining the health and reliability of applications running in containers. Among these, the liveness probe plays a critical role in checking if an application is running correctly. If it detects any problems, Kubernetes can automatically restart the affected container, thus ensuring the application remains available without manual intervention.

In an era marked by escalating cyber threats, Domain Name System (DNS) infrastructure security has become a key concern for IT organizations worldwide. Attacks related to DNS infrastructure, such as DNS hijacking, DNS tunneling, and DNS amplification, are on the rise. Many organizations find themselves questioning the robustness of their DNS security protocols.

When investing in technology, organizations should look for products and services that get them the best bang for their buck. So, who comes out on top when investing in search and logging solutions? Elasticsearch® surpasses OpenSearch in cost efficiency.

In the fast-paced world of IT, where technologies evolve at lightning speed and the demands on systems and infrastructure are growing exponentially, the temptation to maintain the status quo can be all too enticing. After all, change can be daunting, and the familiar feels safe. What many IT professionals fail to realize, however, is that doing nothing is still a choice – and often, it’s a costly one.

As IT environments become more complex, cloud-based and divided across microservices, containers, and serverless computing, opportunities to optimise efficiency and improve performance open up. From cost and capacity savings to improving the speed, responsiveness and reliability of apps, it’s clear businesses are increasingly making the connection between IT and commercial outcomes.

When it comes to insuring their activities, companies need to consider a number of aspects to ensure adequate protection against potential risks. One of the most important is an accurate assessment of inventory value. Indeed, knowing the value of your inventory is essential if you’re looking to protect yourself against potential losses.

We are excited to unveil the next generation of SolarWinds® Papertrail™, SolarWinds Observability® logging. More powerful and faster than ever, the next generation of Papertrail, SolarWinds Observability logging aggregates log data from applications, services, infrastructure, databases, and network devices across both cloud-based and on-premise systems.

Annual reports often feel full of fluff, but the 2024 State of Git Collaboration Report, developed by GitKraken in partnership with JetBrains and drawing on insights from 150,000 developers worldwide, gets straight to the heart of what makes the best development teams stand out in 2024.
