EventSources, the sister LogicModule to DataSources, are a useful framework for triggering event-based, contextual alerts from your applications and infrastructure. While DataSources poll your applications and infrastructure for time-series datapoints, EventSources poll (or listen) for interesting events from your log files, SNMP traps, syslogs, Windows Event Logs, and much more.
A major goal of DevOps is task and process automation. While total automation is possible to a large extent, DevOps engineers can’t just run a process and then leave it. They need to quickly react in the event of downtime and incidents. Usually, it’s important to react as fast as possible because downtime for even a few minutes can cost from $2,300 to $9,000 according to the Ponemon Institute in 2016 and a 14-hour outrage cost Facebook an estimated $90 million in March 2019.

Ever since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting lockdowns, working from home has instantly become the primary way of work for most people. Even companies that already had functionality in place to work from home were instantly hit by scalability issues. Many of the existing solutions typically weren’t meant to be used for a 100% concurrent remote workforce.
The move to a more hybrid and distributed application architecture has pushed cloud providers to offer higher availability. Availability has become the key differentiator among competitors. The focus on offering higher and higher availability comes at the cost of other vital performance factors such as service reliability. This blog discusses some of the important takeaways from our recent on-demand webcast on improving service reliability.

The catchphrase “shadow IT” has always been a bit misleading in the world of tech support. Is using Dropbox instead of Google Drive akin to committing some seedy act in a dark alleyway? Jokes aside, it seems tech support’s real problem has less to do with terminology and more to do with the way they approach shadow IT. Their aim is often near-sighted because their tools hold them back.
While monitoring different types of OS, it is essential to reduce the number of tools used to a logical and reasonable minimum. Under “tools”, we understand all kinds of APIs, software packages and technologies are used to perform the monitoring tasks. For example, same or similar tasks of monitoring system resources can be solved by using SNMP, WMI, various scripting languages, such as PS1, Python, VBasic and so on.
