Global Service Monitor (GSM) checks the availability of web-based applications from different geographies across the world. Why is that important? It gives an insight in to the end user’s experience, and how well the application works for them. It also allows the monitoring expert to isolate network from application issues. And the best news? SCOM takes that awesome data from GSM and beams it into the console.
AppDynamics has been hard at work innovating for enterprises that rely on SAP technologies. As a leader in CRM, ERP, SCM and other software areas, SAP is a critical system for many organizations. The company continues to gain market share, even in categories with more established players. And with its massive acquisition this month of Qualtrics, a pioneer in experience management software, SAP is preparing to enter yet another market.
Not long ago, we told you about Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) buildpacks and service brokers, and all the ways you can deploy AppDynamics agents in a PCF environment. Buildpack is the key concept here. When you do a deployment to PCF, the buildpack is your foundation. You include the app with the buildpack, which incorporates all the logic needed to connect to various PCF services.
In the United States, it’s almost that time of year again where we count our blessings and give thanks.

One of the major developments in software design and delivery over the last few years has been a movement away from monolith applications towards microservices. One of the sticking points I’ve seen on numerous microservice applications is logging. There are some unique challenges with microservice logging that need to be addressed. In this article, we’ll look at how we can make logging in a microservice as painless as in a monolith.
With so many choices available to us today, choosing log management software that’s just right for us has never been simpler. That is, if you know exactly what it is you are looking for. But for many users, the sheer amount of computer programs that perform the same tasks, and seem so similar(sometimes almost identical) to each other, can quickly become off-putting and confusing.
