Lots to catchup on this week after taking a break for Thanksgiving, so let’s dive in! This week we share the video from the ‘Logging is coming to Grafana’ talk, an article on how Stack Overflow tackles monitoring, a shout out from AWS re:Invent 2018, and a plugin preview for Timestream, Amazon’s new TSDB for IoT apps.
LogicMonitor’s CloudWatch Events integration enables you to minimize troubleshooting time by displaying contextual events for your monitored resources alongside performance data. Many routine events, such as deployments, resource provisioning and de-provisioning, or configuration changes, have the potential to impact resource performance. Without being able to see the event in the same context as the performance data, it can be challenging to correlate the two.
When Ruby support on AWS Lambda was announced yesterday, I was so excited about it that I had to try it right away. We've been using Lambda for a while at Honeybadger, and I have longed to be able to write our functions in Ruby. Having played with the new Ruby support for a few hours, I'm feeling confident we'll be spending less time with Node, Go, and Python. :)
TLDR; "If you expect to receive important emails from a trusted email address it is worth whitelisting the address to make sure that emails won't be accidentally blocked by an overzealous email client." In this post we cover how to do it in Yahoo! Mail by adding a filter...
Black Friday to Cyber Monday. That time of the year when we fight the crowds and traffic to squeeze a month’s worth of shopping into just a few fleeting days. Having worked in retail during my college years, I remember the customers lined up outside before 4:00 a.m., chomping at the bit to race into the store and fight (literally) other shoppers for the “scraps” that were left. Ah, the good ol’ days.
In the IT world, if a server can fail or traffic can overload the network – it will. And the consequences of downtime are significant. Many IT organizations face database, hardware, and software downtime that last short periods or can shut down the business for days. According to Gartner, the average cost of network downtime alone is $5,600 per minute. What measures can organizations take to reduce IT downtime?
With the advent of social media platforms and accessible smartphone devices, the world has become smaller than ever before. This has lead websites and online services to the obvious necessity of localization. Translating an entire website into numerous languages, coupled with constant updates needed to make them relevant has led many companies to concern.
Investing in a log analysis tool provides many benefits: it saves time needed to detect and troubleshoot a problem, reduces churn by providing a better user experience, and improves system security. There is a wide scope of use cases for log analysis - from tackling security and performance issues head-on to enhancing the quality of your services. What are some of the most common use cases for log file analysis?
LogDNA today announced a new offering that enables developers to troubleshoot coding bugs and quickly fix development errors in applications, potentially saving businesses millions of dollars in development hours, downtime and associated revenue loss.

Lambda layers and runtime API are two new feature of AWS Lambda which open up fun possibilities for customizing the Lambda runtime and enable decreased duplication of code across Lambda functions. Layers lets you package up a set of files and include them in multiple functions. Runtime API provides an API for interacting with the Lambda service function lifecycle events which lets you be much more flexible about what you run in your Lambda.
