Seeing what’s going on with your IT infrastructure, applications and services has always been critical to the success of modern businesses’ day-to-day operations. Google Stackdriver monitoring provides out-of-the-box visualizations and insights for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) users so you can easily understand your systems.
Remember that time Mom told you that the internet is a dangerous place? No? Well, she did, but you weren’t listening. Jokes aside, we can probably all agree that there are many potential security risks in web services, with all their APIs and user-contributed content. Yet, the internet is what defines our digital age, and barely any piece of technology can do without. In the midst of this insecurity, Rust came along with its memory safety and zero-cost abstractions.
We have just finished our transition from a websocket server based on laravel-echo-server to one that is fully driven by PHP: laravel-websockets. In this post, we'll highlight why and how we made that move.
Monitoring a Kubernetes cluster allows engineers to observe its resource utilization and take action when something goes wrong. This article explores what you should be monitoring and how to go about it with Rancher, Prometheus, and Grafana.
Instrumenting your application with an APM tool is not always easy. Configuration is often complicated, and managing agent files can be daunting. AppDynamics has developed a three-step solution for automating Java agent deployment and infrastructure monitoring in a Docker environment.
The concept “Wireless Monitoring” is quite broad. In fact, it covers all wirelessly instrumented communications platforms and the monitoring we can do on them. We are talking about everything from the short-range signal of a Bluetooth device to sensors connected to a wide area wireless network.
Does anyone like receiving calls from telemarketers? Unless you use the opportunity to set up a prank and get a good laugh, odds are these calls annoy you just as much as me. These over-the-phone salespeople are frustratingly persistent as they interrupt my day, and they also missed one key step when they dialed my number: Researching whether there was any chance that I would want their product.
Over the last decade, cloud computing has revolutionized the way we handle and store data, which has, in turn, paved the way for greater innovations in technology. What can we expect from cloud computing as the technology advances?
I've been working at WebGazer for seven months. For every day I spend in this business, I feel like I'm trying to run on a tightrope. Since our job is website monitoring, I see the similar downtime tragedies every day. I was reading some old downtime stories like "Amazon has lost $3.75 million in only 20 minutes!". Then, I decided to make a research about some possible downtime tragedies might happen.
As reported on Issue #228, if scout_apm is disabled on a node via the configuration monitor = false, we don't intend to install any instruments, but a few snuck in anyway. Since the rest of the agent isn't running, they (slowly but steadily) built up recorded info, but didn't purge it, causing a slow memory leak that became clear over the course of a week or two. We've stopped the offending instruments from installing themselves when Scout is disabled.
