In October of last year, I joined Sumo Logic to lead sales and go-to-market functions with the goal of successfully launching our newly established Japan region in Tokyo.

If you maintain a regular practice of keeping log data, you probably have an established way of observing event logs in real time or you do it by using batch processing. There are two ways you can monitor event logs: manually and automatically. By monitoring event logs, you can gain deeper insight into system metrics, localize process bottlenecks, and detect security vulnerabilities. What are some other advantages of event log monitoring, and how can you get the most out of it?
Many of our customers want a simple way to see how often an event happens. In the past, LogDNA’s graphing capabilities helped to fulfill this need, but it took you away from your current log context and often forced you to recall a specific query in order to reflect the correct graph.

Back in the days of the wild wild web (www) and post JQuery era, one web framework stood above all others: AngularJS. A “ring to rule them all”, AngularJS consolidated quite a few micro-frameworks and provided many extensibility points of expansion if needed. Over time though, many performance and architectural questions began to arise, to the point of no return – when the guys @Google decided to migrate from AngularJS to Angular (a poor naming decision).
When developing PHP applications, error logs are under-used because of their apparent complexity. PHP error logs are helpful, especially when configured and used properly.
