How to Monitor MongoDB Metrics with OpenTelemetry

For high throughput systems that focus on gathering continuous data or have a heavy read-only traffic, NoSQL databases came as a blessing. NoSQL databases, due to their unstructured nature of data, allow relatively faster inserts as well as reads compared to relational databases. One such database that’s quite popular today is MongoDB. In this article, our focus would be to understand how to extract metrics out of MongoDB and ship them to Signoz using the Open Telemetry collector.

Memcached Metrics Monitoring with OpenTelemetry

Let's dive deep into the realm of Memcached, where we'll uncover the power of monitoring with OpenTelemetry and SigNoz. This isn't just about caching data; it's about watching over Memcached like a vigilant guardian, ensuring it performs at its best, and optimizing your application's speed. In this tutorial, you will install OpenTelemetry Collector to collect Memcached metrics that should be monitored for performance and then send the collected data to SigNoz for visualization and alerts.

Streamline your CD pipeline for Cisco Cloud Observability

How can you leverage a monitoring-as-code mechanism to initiate new workload monitoring, or to create new visualizations? In this demo, see how Cisco AppDynamics can integrate with Flux CD (Continuous Delivery)—a GitOps Kubernetes operator tool that offers a simple and efficient interface to synchronize manifests within CD workflows from GitHub repositories. See how easy it is to upgrade existing software with just a few lines of code such as when instrumenting new workloads with the OpenTelemetry Agent or customizing a Grafana dashboard.

Uni Updates Episode 4: AppDynamics University is moving to Cisco U

AppDynamics University's self-paced and instructor-led training is moving to Cisco U., Cisco’s world-class learning experience platform, and will be available after December 15, 2023. What does this mean for you? If you have a Standard AppDynamics University subscription, self-paced training will be available in Cisco U. Free. If you have a Premium or Multi-User University subscription, self-paced and instructor-led training will be available in Cisco U. Essentials.

Transitioning from lz4net to K4os.Compression.LZ4

At Raygun, we’re processing billions of events per month for our customers, so it’s well worthwhile looking for the most efficient data storage solutions. Way back when we started out, we chose lz4net to store data, which served our purposes well for many years. As we grew, though, we realized this was getting expensive, and was starting to undermine our business model. This post is focused on how we made the switch to the K4os.Compression.LZ4 rewrite, attaining significant performance gains.

How to Monitor MySQL Metrics with OpenTelemetry

Database monitoring is an important aspect to look at for a high-volume or high-traffic system. The database performance drastically impacts the response times for the application. In this tutorial, you will install OpenTelemetry Collector to collect MySQL metrics and then send the collected data to SigNoz for monitoring and visualization. In this tutorial, we cover: If you want to jump straight into implementation, start with this pre-requisites section.

How to Collect .NET Application Logs with OpenTelemetry

In the realm of modern software development, achieving true observability is paramount for understanding application behavior and performance. This demonstration focuses on a.NET application that harnesses the capabilities of OpenTelemetry to seamlessly integrate logging and tracing functionalities. OpenTelemetry, a key player in the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, provides a unified framework for comprehensive observability.

How to Monitor Prometheus Metrics with OpenTelemetry Collector?

OpenTelemetry provides a component called OpenTelemetry Collector, which can be used to collect data from multiple sources. Prometheus is a popular metrics monitoring tool that has a wide adoption. If you’re using Prometheus SDKs to generate metrics, you can collect them via OpenTelemetry collector and send them to a backend of your choice.

How to Monitor Apache Server Metrics with OpenTelemetry

Monitoring Apache web server metrics ensures your web server performs efficiently, securely, and reliably. In this tutorial, you will configure OpenTelemetry Collector to collect Apache metrics and send them to SigNoz for monitoring and visualization. We cover: If you want to jump straight into implementation, start with this prerequisites section.
