New managed service alerts IT to resolve availability issues across Citrix or VMware Horizon and its supporting delivery infrastructure before end-users are impacted.

When I first started the project that became the Netdata Agent, I was trying to solve a painful, real-world problem: IT infrastructure monitoring tools fell short when it came to providing complete, granular metrics in real time. Believe me, I had no shortage of tools to choose from, but each of them lacked something either in the ability to see every metric I needed, or see it at the frequency required.

Netdata Cloud works differently from other monitoring solutions. Most solutions limit the number and frequency of metrics because they rely on architectures that aggregate data. Netdata Cloud, however, streams limited metadata from each node running the Netdata Agent, keeping you in control of the data on your systems. The advantage of this architecture is that there is no limit to the number or frequency of metrics, regardless of the scale or complexity of your IT infrastructure.

At OpenObservability, we had the pleasure to sit down with Andre Boutet, the Senior Director of Cloud Operations and Services for OneSpan. Andre had a conversation with our CTO, Jonah Kowall, around what observability means to his team and his organization. Teaser: It’s not just about ensuring uptime and availability for external systems. It’s a philosophy with a foundation on supporting the entire development lifecycle.

The SNMP world is becoming more and more important within the monitoring environment, as companies need to find software that has specialized tools for trap monitoring. If you are not familiar with the term SNMP, take a look here. In this article, we will focus on Pandora FMS SNMP alerts, on how they work and how you can benefit from them.

To put it simply, serverless computing is a cloud computing execution model meaning that the cloud provider is dynamically managing the distribution of computer’s resources. What’s taking up valuable computing resources is the function execution. Both AWS and Azure charge more if you have a combination of allocated memory and the function execution elapse time which is rounded up to 100ms.

Minimizing costs, reducing risk, and maximizing business value—all at the same time—requires a delicate balancing act. It’s not a new challenge, nor is it unique to IT infrastructures. But when it comes to the cloud, especially in hybrid cloud scenarios, it requires you to understand the performance, risk/compliance, and cost impacts of your current resource allocations and then adjust to maintain the optimal decisions to meet your SLA and budget targets.

There has been increasing buzz in the past decade about the benefits of using a microservice architecture. Let’s explore what microservices are and are not, as well as contrast them with traditional monolithic applications. We’ll discuss the benefits of using a microservices-based architecture and the effort and planning that are required to transition from a monolithic architecture to a microservices architecture.

Working remotely has grown over the past several months for many organizations. The ability to provide remote access involves being able to control access to network and cloud-based servers while allowing employees to access the data and files they require to do their jobs. Remote access is also needed to monitor what data and files employees are accessing. Working remotely allows a business to continue to operate when employees are not able to work in the office.

As you build more complicated Splunk apps, you might wonder, “What is the best way to make the features in my app more usable?” If you’re adding new SPL commands or creating ways to input new data sources, the answer is straightforward. But imagine you’re trying to address one of the following scenarios: For cases like these, consider extending the Splunk REST API with custom endpoints.
