Taking Server Monitoring to the Next Level

Jan 20, 2026 By Babu Sundaram In eG Innovations
For many years, uptime and availability have been basic standard measures of server health monitoring. But if a server is up and responding to a ping or HTTP request, does that really mean that all is well? In reality, uptime and availability alone often provide a false sense of security. A server can be technically “up” while being seconds away from a crash, running out of memory, operating with an expired license, or silently failing critical updates.

Essential digital experience metrics for development teams

Jan 5, 2026 By Laura Marwick In Raygun
For the team that's down in the trenches untangling legacy code, writing unit tests, and just trying to come up with sensible variable names, it's easy to lose sight of the other end of the process, where code meets customer. You test, you deploy, nothing breaks, and you move on. However, it's just as important to keep an eye on code quality in production, and how it's experienced. Experience, though, is hard to quantify. What do you measure? How do you measure it? How do you improve it? And why do you care? We lay out answers in this post.

What is OTLP and How It Works Behind the Scenes

Jan 5, 2026 By Dhruv Ahuja In SigNoz
If you have worked with observability tools in the last decade, you have likely managed, and been burnt by, a fragmented collection of tools and libraries. Each observability signal required its own tool, data formats were incompatible and had little or no correlation. For example, log records would not link to traces, meaning you had to guess which traces led to which events. The OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) solves this by decoupling how telemetry is generated from where it is analyzed.
