The Place Where Modern Operations & Technology Come Together
The latest News and Information on Application Performance Monitoring and related technologies.
Monitoring Kafka with OpenTelemetry including client side monitoring
In this video, you will see a demo of how to monitor Kafka with OpenTelemetry. We will instrument a NodeJS application using Kafka and get client side metrics like delay between producer emitting a message to consumer receiving it via distributed tracing. We will also get Kafka server metrics like consumer lag and plot it dashboards.
Why ngrok Prioritized a Datadog Integration for Streamlined Monitoring of HTTP Events
ngrok delivers instant ingress to your applications in any cloud, private network, or devices with authentication, load balancing, and other critical controls using their global points of presence. Hear from Chad Tindel, Field CTO & VP WW Solution Architecture, on why Datadog was their most requested integration and how it provides an easy pathway to ship application and traffic logs into one unified observability platform.
Bridging the Gap: Overcoming Communication Challenges Between Helpdesk, SREs, IT Teams, and Database Administrators
One area where communication breakdowns commonly occur is between helpdesk / IT teams / SREs and database administrators (DBAs), especially when troubleshooting application problems associated with databases. Smooth communication between different teams is key to resolving application performance issues efficiently and speedily. However, it is usually inappropriate for helpdesk staff to have access to the database monitoring privileges and tools used by DB administrators.
Datadog Conversations: Toyota's Shift to Software-First Mobility
As the world’s largest automotive manufacturer and the leading software-first mobility company, Toyota leans on Datadog to achieve its goals of delivering value to customers and uplifting employees with new technologies and processes. Jason Ballard, IT Executive and General Manager, shares his top priorities for the enterprise in North America and offers his advice for how other leaders in the industry can transform their business.
Advancing Observability Maturity: Core Benefits
One of the major trends in software development in the last decade has been “shifting left” responsibilities that have traditionally been under operation’s domain to earlier in the software development life cycle (SDLC). It first came in the form of DevOps where a lot of the software engineering best practices were introduced to the deploy, operate, monitor phases. Such examples include continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
Datadog Incident Management Demo
With Incident Management, Datadog provides a unified platform to seamlessly detect, investigate and manage incidents from end-to-end, helping you to streamline processes and quickly mobilize the right teams for faster incident resolution.
Latest Top 11 Log Monitoring Tools [Includes Open-Source]
For any software company, a log monitoring tool is a must for collecting, storing, and providing a centralized view of all logs from different applications and hosts for faster anomaly detection, incident resolution, and troubleshooting. They can also help detect security threats and provide audit trails. They are effective in capacity planning, decision-making, and ensuring optimized performance.
Livestream: Client side monitoring & metrics for Kafka using OpenTelemetry & SigNoz
In this livestream, we will walk through a demo of how to get client side insights from Kafka using distributed tracing. We will take a NodeJS producer and consumer setup communicating via Kafka to show how one can instrument this with OpenTelemetry, and get metrics from a client perspective. We will also touch on getting Kafka metrics using OpenTelemetry receivers.
OpenTelemetry Flask Instrumentation Complete Tutorial
In this article, we will use OpenTelemetry to instrument a sample Flask app for traces. Flask is one of the most popular web application frameworks of Python. It consists of Werkzeug WSGI toolkit and Jinja2 template engine. Instrumentation is the biggest challenge engineering teams face when starting out with monitoring their application performance. OpenTelemetry is the leading open-source standard that is solving the problem of instrumentation.
