A complete ‘Kubernertes monitoring with Prometheus’ stack is comprised of much more than Prometheus servers that collect metrics by scraping endpoints. To deploy a real Kubernetes and microservices monitoring solution, you need many other supporting components including rules and alerts (AlertManager), a graphics visualization layer (Grafana), long term metrics storage, as well as extra metrics adapters for the software that is not compatible out of the box.

On this episode of Exception Perceptions, Xamarin + Azure Cloud Developer Advocate Brandon Minnick stopped by to chat with Sentry’s Developer Evangelist(a) Chloe Condon about Visual Studio Tools for Xamarin the mobile development platform that lets developers use their C# and .NET skills to build fully native Android, iOS, and UWP apps.

A year ago we’ve added SMART metrics collection to our monitoring agent that collects disk drive attributes on clients servers. So here a couple of interesting cases from the real world.

Among the new features of the new Pandora FMS 726 update package, you will find new templates to create visual consoles, improvements and views. A list of the most important changes is shown below.

Monitoring remains a critical part of managing any IT system, while the challenges associated with monitoring microservices are especially unique. An example is how traditional monolithic systems, deployed as a single executable or library, have different points of failure and dependencies than those deployed with a microservices architecture.

This week we highlight articles featuring the ultimate guide to monitoring Kubernetes using Prometheus and Grafana, how to build effective dashboards, and a guide to help demystify PromQL.

First, a TL;DR: on how much money I’m making. Healthchecks.io has around 90 paying customers, and the monthly revenue is a little above $700/mo. The bulk of that goes back into running costs.

In this post, I'll show how to setup Scout to monitor the performance of SQL queries, external HTTP calls, template rendering, and more in Wagtail, a Django CMS app. Wagtail is a fast, modern opensource content management system built on Django. Used at NASA, Google, MIT, and more, it's a great option for running your own CMS. When we add the scout-apm package to the app, we'll quickly gain insights on the app's performance.

Platform as a Service (PaaS) is an innovative cloud computing model that helps to deliver applications over the web. In this model, a cloud provider offers hardware and software tools, typically those required for application development, to the users as a service. The cloud infrastructure provides the ability to efficiently and quickly design and deploy apps and have them functioning reliably. Typically, the platform functions as an enabler of cloud applications.

Sumo Logic is no different than most companies — we are in the service of our customers and we seek to build a product that they love. As we continue to refine the Sumo Logic platform, we’re also refining our feedback loops. One of those feedback loops is internal dogfooding and learning how our own internal teams such as engineering, sales engineering and customer success, experience the newest feature. However, we know that that approach can be biased.
