Before Grafana, there was Kibana 3. Kibana was revolutionary when it came out, because it allowed you to use Elasticsearch in a very new way, for log analytics and not just normal document search, and to build dashboards without writing JSON documents. It had this nice UI, which let you drag panels around. But editing panels was a little tricky; you could only edit them in this sort of fullscreen modal. Still, it was really good for its time.
If you’re a LogicMonitor customer, the platform’s Audit Logs may seem like a rudimentary means to track user actions, but they can actually be a powerful tool for troubleshooting and getting historical data within your portal. For instance, let’s say you notice that the alerting for a particular device group has been unexpectedly disabled.
We’re happy to announce the release of Logz.io Reports — an easy way to set up scheduled reporting for both operational and security use cases. Kibana dashboards provide you with a window into your environment, visualizing the different signals being tracked in a beautiful mix of graphs, charts, and maps. Often used in times of crisis and as the starting point for an investigation, dashboards can also be useful as a static reporting tool for multiple use cases.
The world is undergoing profound change and technology sits at its beating heart. Digital transformation offers unprecedented opportunities for CIOs to support business demands for innovation-fueled growth. In so doing, IT leaders can also cement their position as indispensable members of the executive suite.
Cycle’s API docs are live, and with it a whole new suite of tools to automate the management of containers across cloud providers. This is the same API that Cycle’s portal is built upon, meaning you have near full capability to do anything programmatically that you can do through the interface.
Microsoft Active Directory is a key component of the IT infrastructure of any organization that uses Microsoft Windows servers or desktops. Active Directory is responsible for managing users, their accounts and their access to individual computers, shared drivers, printers, servers and more. From a user’s perspective, Active Directory’s single sign-on capability ensures that users do not have to remember and use different passwords for different types of accesses.
Did you know that CloudFormation tags don’t automatically propagate to some resource types? Chief among these are CloudWatch log groups, which means you can’t include them in your cost monitoring (via cost allocation tags) among other things. The only way to tag CloudWatch log groups right now is via API calls. You can do this with the AWS SDK, or using the AWS CLI. This is hugely inconvenient!
We are happy to announce that Scout now integrates with the popular error monitoring solution, Honeybadger. This integration brings a similar feature set to our existing Rollbar, Sentry and Bugsnag integrations, and it allows you to see your errors and exceptions alongside your performance metrics all on a single page. So let’s take this opportunity to take a closer look at Honeybadger and see how you can get it setup within Scout in just a few minutes!
In this blog, we shall send observation frequencies in the bucket intervals chosen and aggregate those at the Prometheus back-end.
