Have you wanted to throw away your expensive internet bill and use your neighbor's insecure wifi? Was the only thing holding you back the Honeybadger single-factor auth flow? Well, have I got news for you.

Maps have been related to the management and monitoring activities of IT platforms for a long time. Years ago, when there were no tools available to generate the graphical vision we call maps, the documentation of the device that made up the platform was usually carried in tables and diagrams where the existence of the components, their characteristics and relationships were recorded.

Jaeger was built from day 1 to be able to ingest huge amounts of data in a resilient way. To better utilize resources that might cause delays, such as storage or network communications, Jaeger buffers and batches data. When more spans are generated than Jaeger is able to safely process, spans might get dropped. However, the defaults might not fit all scenarios: for instance, agents running as a sidecar might have more memory constraints than agents running as a daemon in bare metal.

451 Research analyst, William Fellows, recently authored a Market Impact report titled, OpsRamp is breaking new ground for IT operations management. The report analyzes our latest platform features and innovations for hybrid cloud management use cases.

It would be ideal if every network device you managed across all your client sites was from the same manufacturer, but for most MSPs that’s not the case—over 75% of MSPs manage four or more network vendors for their clients, and some manage upwards of 20. Even though taking care of diverse networks is standard procedure for most service providers, managing gear from multiple vendors is still, well, complex. It means handling different operating systems, different languages, and more.

As mobile and IoT deployments play an increasing role in enterprise networks, organizations are looking to more appropriate architecture—such as edge computing—to relieve their security and device management burdens. Edge computing is still in its relative infancy, and the platforms and services needed to orchestrate edge deployments are evolving themselves. In this article, we’ll be looking at some of the issues and available options.

Filters, the mechanism for allowing and denying events to be handled, have been given a refresh in Sensu Go. These new and improved JavaScript filters give you a way to express business logic through filtering, giving you more awareness of your environment, reducing alert fatigue, and improving performance. In this post, I’ll share what’s new with filters, using examples in Sensu Go. (If you haven’t already, you can download it here.)

Our Real User Monitoring (RUM) product gathers performance data from actual user experiences from all around the globe for enabled pages. For 2018 that meant we collected data from thousands of worldwide users. In this blog, we take a look at the users’ browser choices, the page performance as experienced by the users, and their choices in device types.

After learning more about how our users use test credits to diagnose and troubleshoot network issues, we realized that we needed to make credits more affordable so we significantly increased the number of credits included with each credit package. See the new options below. We hope this change allows you to continue running cost effective network tests.
