I recently gave a talk at GrafanaCon LA, which was heavily inspired by my blog post on check output metric extraction. During the talk, I dove into a popular monitoring use case with Sensu, InfluxDB, and Grafana — let’s call it the SIG stack . While I got to share some awesome features in Sensu that ultimately allow users to collect, store, and visualize their metrics, the conference was about Grafana, and folks wanted to see dashboards!

With the growing number of customers monitoring Azure in Datadog, we saw a great opportunity to help our users get faster visibility across their dynamic cloud environments. We’re happy to announce the release of new out-of-the-box dashboards for several Azure services.

A few days ago, ICANN issued a statement where they call upon everyone to implement DNSSEC across their DNS infrastructure.

The DevOps era has turned traditional monitoring on its head with diverse, ephemeral data streaming from containers, microservices, and serverless functions as well as directly from the applications these new technologies enable. With efforts to efficiently utilize every drop of network, storage and compute, modern applications have created new challenges that render legacy IT operations management (ITOM) tools ineffective.

Modern cloud-based application and infrastructure monitoring is a moving target. And it is one that very much depends on how “native” your cloud application is. Here is a list of monitoring metrics capabilities you should look for that pertain to time series and events.

Our recent webinar on 2019 Performance and Management Trends and Insights featured Nancy Gohring, Senior Analyst at 451 Research and Darren Cunningham, VP of Marketing at OpsRamp. The webinar reviewed key findings from recent surveys on performance monitoring and how IT automation investments (artificial intelligence and machine learning) are helping enterprises combat the twin problems of alert fatigue and incident downtime.

As applications are getting more complex, it’s becoming harder to deliver high-quality applications. Tools like Application Performance Monitoring (APM) are essential for the development process. To get good performance data, developers need to deal with the rising trends of containerization, microservices, heterogeneous cloud services, and big data.

The 1980s was a period that set the ball rolling for many aspects of the technology that we are using today. Personal computers, such as the BBC Micro and similar devices, introduced the world in general to the power and potential of IT – a capability that has grown massively in sophistication and capability, to the point that it has become fundamental to many aspects of life at work and at home.

Let’s say one of your techs is configuring a client’s firewall and makes a mistake that results in the firewall (and the rest of the network) no longer being accessible. What are your options for fixing the issue?

Over these years, there has already been a lot of spotlight and geek speaks on building PWA and its advantages. Due to which many companies are found capitalizing on its extensive capabilities. The following post sums up on what possibilities PWAs is all set to open for businesses now and in future.
