Troubleshoot streaming data pipelines directly from APM with Datadog Data Streams Monitoring

When monitoring applications with streaming data pipelines, there are additional complexities to consider that are not present in traditional batch-processing systems. Whether you’re using streaming data pipelines to power a digital trading platform, capture sensor data from an IoT device, or recommend news articles to users, it can be challenging to identify the root cause of delays when you’re dealing with distributed systems, real-time data, and the dynamic nature of events.

Understanding Flame Graphs for Visualizing Distributed Tracing

In the ever-evolving world of software development, one constant remains - the pursuit of better performance. As applications grow in complexity and demand, the need for tools to uncover performance bottlenecks becomes paramount. Flamegraphs, a brainchild of Brendan Gregg, has emerged as an important visualization of insight, showing those dark corners of your codebase that need optimization.

Database Trends 2024: The Power of Cloud, Consumption Models, and the Popularity of PostgreSQL

OTel Applications on Retrace

We are excited to inform you that Open Telemetry is now available for you with the introduction of “Netreo OTel Appliance”. With the OTel Appliance, cloud-native services like AWS Lambda, AWS ECS, AWS EKS, Azure Functions, Azure App Services, Azure Container Instances, and Azure Kubernetes Services can be monitored and you see application traces and logs in Retrace UI (s1.stackify.com). The applications hosted in the cloud Serverless and containers can be monitored without running the Retrace agent within the instance itself.

Loki vs Elasticsearch - Which tool to choose for Log Analytics?

Elasticsearch, or the ELK stack, is a popular log analytics solution. The Loki project was started at Grafana Labs in 2018. Grafana leads the development of Loki, while Elastic is the company behind Elasticsearch. In this article, we will do a detailed comparison between these two tools for log analytics. Log data helps application owners debug their applications while also playing a critical role in cyber security.

Decoding PostgreSQL Monitoring | 101 Guide

Monitoring PostgreSQL for performance issues is critical. PostgreSQL is a powerful open-source relational database system that stands out for its robustness, scalability, and strong emphasis on extensibility and standards compliance. In this guide on PostgreSQL monitoring, we will cover key PostgreSQL metrics that should be monitored, best practices for monitoring PostgreSQL and some tools with which you can set up PostgreSQL monitoring.

How to Monitor PostgreSQL metrics with OpenTelemetry

PostgreSQL metrics monitoring is important to ensure that PostgreSQL is performing as expected and to identify and resolve problems quickly. In this tutorial, you will install OpenTelemetry Collector to collect PostgreSQL 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 prerequisites section.
