The Domain Name System (DNS) is brilliantly designed as a hierarchical structure, ensuring that any single point can fail with the system remaining relatively intact. There are some nuances to this statement, like caching issues that arise from outages, but the overall focus is on uptime. This is why the DNS check is a critical part of your IT uptime monitoring process.

Now that the holiday season is coming to an end, the OpsLogix team is slowly but surely returning after enjoying their hard earned vacations shortly following Microsoft Inspire in Las Vegas last month. We were proud and happy to present the newest update of our EZalert solution and inform our (future) customers about our plans for the upcoming release.

Stability and user experience were the main goals for this release. Please read the full Changelog for all the details and the Upgrading instructions to be on the safe side. Spoiler: as always, upgrade is safe and super easy.

Here at RapidSpike we are committed to providing a high quality service, and as part of that we frequently release upgrades to our core software. So today we’re very pleased to announce our Intelligent Page Monitor (IPM) upgrades!

Total visibility is crucial to monitoring the database environments that support your most critical applications. That’s why AppDynamics recently released a number of updates to our Database Visibility functionality. Not only do we now support monitoring Couchbase, but we also added snapshot correlation, support for custom cluster configuration, and enhancements to our ability to collect and track custom database metrics.

Serverless compute services such as AWS Lambda offer many advantages to their customers, most notably the ability to reduce costs and minimise infrastructure. But serverless can also bring trade-offs that give rise to application performance issues.

When it comes to Pandora FMS as a netcool alternative. In this case Pandora FMS breaks with the established monitoring: we avoid the complex and fragmented monitoring of multiple products with different and separate user interfaces, operating on separate code bases and even separate storage from each other; all this only results in an extremely complicated implementation and even worse, it makes maintenance difficult once it has been implemented.

The Raygun platform is designed to surface as much actionable information about errors so, as a developer, you not only fix them quickly but gain context into what causes errors in the first place. Today we’re announcing a new feature for both Crash Reporting and Real User Monitoring: Crash by device. This new feature helps mobile developers understand which devices cause the most crashes, so replicating errors becomes easier.

Vue (pronounced /vjuː/, like view) is a progressive framework for building user interfaces on the web. Vue can power sophisticated single-page applications and is often used in combination with modern tooling and supporting libraries. We’ll show you how to add error handling in a Vue application to capture caught and uncaught errors. This gives you an opportunity to recover and update what’s presented to the user, as well as track the error to prioritize fixes.
