Retune AB manages a variety of Ubiquiti devices -- wireless data communication products for enterprise and wireless broadband providers. Naturally, we wanted to bring these in under monitoring. However, Ubiquiti does not expose real-time CPU or memory metrics through SNMP in a way that we found reliable and these are some of the key values needed to verify the health of the device.
To many IT software teams, the mantra currently in vogue for team practice is “shift-left.” That refers to moving certain activities, such as code integration, build, and testing, earlier in the software development and delivery process. By shifting them to the left, the team knows more about code quality and performance earlier, allowing for corrective action and making them nimbler in response.
Application performance monitoring (APM) solutions are among the most essential tools for IT today. As organizations undertake transformational initiatives such as cloud migration, container orchestration and microservices, they need to be able to manage performance of their business-critical applications and end-user experience across complex and sophisticated technology landscapes.
Among the new features of the latest Pandora FMS 730 update package, new functionalities have been incorporated such as the incorporation of heat maps, the synchronization of inventory and server plugins in the Meta Console and new calls to the Pandora FMS API.
What should one pay for observability? How much observability is enough? How much is too much, or is there such a thing? Is it better to pay for one product that claims (dubiously) to do everything, or twenty products that are each optimized to do a different part of the problem super well? It’s almost enough to make a busy engineer say “Screw it, I’m spinning up Nagios”. (Hey, I said almost.)
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is one of the most popular public cloud providers today. Over the years, AWS’ services have expanded from cloud computing to application development and security. To retain the reliability, availability, and performance of your AWS instances, an AWS cloud monitoring solution is a must. It’s critical for AWS monitoring tools to collect data from all parts of your AWS service, so that multi-point failure can be easily debugged.
At Sysdig, we have built a cloud-native intelligence platform to create a single, more effective way to monitor and secure your critical applications. We want to empower our users to quickly identify critical events and focus on events that need the most attention from you.
AppDynamics surveyed 6,000 global IT leaders about application performance monitoring and AIOps. Read on to discover the trends shaping the space.
With technology’s unrelenting advance, the evolution of the digital workplace has unarguably entered the fast lane. Microsoft – which provides critical digital workplace solutions through their Windows OS – is no exception. Indeed, end users indispensably depend on Microsoft’s range of workplace services to achieve everyday tasks – from simple log-ins to advanced programming – putting them at the front lines of any new updates and modifications.
Not too long ago in the Sensu Community Slack, the question: “Why Sensu instead of Nagios?” arose. Specifically, “How do I convince my boss to choose Sensu over Nagios?” I responded to the thread, but decided it was worthwhile to share my response with the wider community. At Willis Towers Watson, we moved from Nagios to Sensu 1.2 almost a year ago (and now we’re upgrading to Sensu Go).
