You know what they say: “Nothing lasts forever.” That’s especially true of technology. And as much as you might have loved that flip phone, 486-based tower, or perhaps that original iPad, all good things must come to an end. Whether an unfortunate tumble destroys a once-shiny-and-new device, a system stops responding as snappily as it used to, or a support agreement ends, there are many reasons to move on from older tech.
Get a decent source code management system like Github, Gitlab or Bitbucket etc. Every one uses the same code and keeps upto date with base line. this reduces the merge conflict issues.

Building your monitoring landscape can be a hard task. The main reason for this is the sheer amount of available solutions. Even though, each of them has their own reason for existence. One challenge during the discovery phase is to find out if the tools you selected can work together. If they have integrations for each other or if they can use the same storage backend. OpenAPM aims to help you find out which parts can work together and how you may use them in combination.

Back in 2016, we added support for monitoring wildcard DNS records. Wildcard DNS records are used to serve requests for otherwise non-existent domain names. Today we’re pleased to announce that we’ve extended our support for using wildcards in DNS records monitoring. DNS Check now allows you to specify a wildcard (*) in place of some DNS record values, such as an A record’s IP address to indicate that any value is acceptable, but the record must exist.
August is flying by, but hopefully there’ll still be time to enjoy a few more summer evenings. This week we’re sharing the video demoing the new Explore UI in Grafana from last week’s PromCon, monitoring VMWare’s VKE with Prometheus, hosting a blog on a budget and more.
