Successful businesses don’t sort data — they shape it. Discover, Sentry’s query builder, gives form to your event data so you can measure performance and trace issues across all your projects. Here’s how.

I’ve been an open source fan and user for many, many years, going back to before we defined the term “open source” and we called it “free software.” Whenever and wherever possible I prefer to have control over the software I run on my devices.

Grafana v7.4 has been released! The big news for Grafana 7.4 is the next-generation graph panel called time series, which is in beta.

That is why we created top-notch cost tiles that would allow users to build the perfect Azure cost dashboard, and help them quickly identify overspends and expensive resources in their Azure tenant.

As one of the three pillars of observability, along with logs and traces, digesting metrics is a crucial part of any ITOps admins’ job. Metrics are a numeric representation of data measured over intervals of time and thus can derive knowledge of system behavior historically, which can help predict future patterns of behavior and inform investigations of issues and incidents.

Our Makefile entry point for developing against the Mattermost Server already tries to simplify things for developers as much as possible. For example, when invoking make run-server, this build tooling takes care of all of the following (among other things!).

Recently I got the chance to attend a PromQL training conducted by Julius Volz, the co-founder of Prometheus, and in this post I am going to share some of the key takeaways from my experience.

In my last blog post, we focused on creating 29 Enterprise Applications (EA). We also spent some time talking about our Critical Service Offerings (CSO) and Supporting Service Offerings (SSO). And finally, we looked at three out-of-box dashboards. If all you needed was to create a dashboard to control the boxes’ color quickly, you already have what you need.
