The increase in ransomware attacks and high-profile data breaches over the last few years has reinforced the importance of data security. It should be noted that WannaCry infected more than 300,000 computers worldwide, encrypting sensitive business data and disrupting productivity for an entire week.
We are thrilled to announce Dash 2019, the second year of Datadog’s conference on building and scaling the next generation of applications, infrastructure, and technical teams.

With continuous integration becoming standard practice, getting full visibility into your CI pipelines has become a key part of monitoring and troubleshooting. Datadog gives you that visibility with out-of-the-box support for several continuous integration tools, including: GitLab, Jenkins, Travis CI, CircleCI and TeamCity. Monitoring your CI servers can help you identify bottlenecks in your pipelines.
On this episode of Exception Perceptions, Katy Farmer, InfluxData’s Developer Advocate, tells us all about Kubernetes (also known as K8s). Watch the episode, and then accompany Katy on her journey to uncover the “captain” of containerization’s secrets.
Forty-three percent of application performance problems occur because of an issue in the application code, according to a DZone study. Code-level issues include bugs in the code constructs, such as long waits, poor iterations, inefficient code algorithms, unhandled exceptions, bad choice of data structures, etc. Developers and application owners need code-level insight, so they can pinpoint issues in the code and fix them before users notice.
I’ve been designing monitoring tools for almost 10 years now, and in that time a lot has changed. The infrastructure we build software on, for example, has been transformed multiple times—moving first from physical hosts to VMs in the cloud, then from VMs to containers, and now from containers to serverless and cloud service-based infrastructure.
A Transaction Check is designed to run through a specific set of instructions and test certain elements on your site. The check interacts with clickable objects or text fields, and can test important elements like: Shopping carts, Login forms, and Landing pages. Before you begin configuration of a check, it’s helpful to run through this list of potential items you need.
Dynatrace Perform is an event in Las Vegas January 28-30, that gathers folks in the cloud and software spaces looking to network, be inspired, and release better software, faster. As a Silver sponsor, Atlassian will have a booth staffed by members of the Opsgenie team, ready to talk to you about how Opsgenie's Dynatrace integration can lead to a faster MTTA (mean time to acknowledge) and reduced MTTR (mean time to respond) for your enterprise or medium business.
In a separate article, we introduced the concept of performing synthetic transactions with LogicMonitor. An obviously crucial step of that process is actually scripting the automation. You can have all the right automation tools installed but how do you get started with the actual script? This article will help illustrate some of the preparation needed for developing a browser automation script.
