AWS metric ingestion for less: Save money and get near real-time stream into Grafana Cloud

Sep 3, 2025 By Karsten Jeschkies In Grafana
There’s a new way to ingest AWS metrics into Grafana Cloud that makes observing your AWS resources more cost-effective, easier to operate, and more accurate. You can now stream metrics into the AWS Observability app in Grafana Cloud in near real-time thanks to our new integration with Amazon CloudWatch and Amazon Data Firehose. We’re already using it internally, and we’re finding that it’s not only easier to operate—it’s at least five times more cost-effective.

Dashboards say green. Users say It's broken.

Sep 3, 2025 By Catchpoint In Catchpoint
Your infrastructure metrics are all green. The code is clean. But support tickets are rolling in. What’s going on? The problem: traditional monitoring tools stop at your infrastructure. They don’t tell you if the user can actually complete their task. As @gerardo explains, the objective of a car is not to have the correct tire pressure or gas levels... it’s to get from point A to point B. User experience works the same way. What’s the point of having green metrics when your users are not experiencing the same thing?

Top 3 Jira reporting tools: SquaredUp vs Power BI vs Jira

Sep 3, 2025 By Blog In Squared Up
A recent survey revealed that developers and engineering teams waste 8+ hours a week on inefficiencies in their role. Poor reporting tools are a main contributor, with Jira being regarded as a frequent source of friction. But since Jira is so deeply embedded in most organizations' infrastructure and processes, replacing it is not really an option. Rather, the solution lies in optimizing how users interact with it rather than abandoning it altogether.

Data-Driven Decisions: What Ops Can Borrow from ERP Dashboards

Data-Driven Decisions: What Ops Can Borrow from ERP Dashboards

Aug 29, 2025 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
In operations, we talk a lot about metrics. Teams rely on dashboards, charts, and alerts to spot issues before they spiral. But the truth is, many Ops dashboards are overloaded with noise and lack the clarity that decision-makers need. Business leaders in other domains, like enterprise resource planning (ERP), often take a more disciplined approach. Their dashboards are built to show exactly what matters for day-to-day and long-term performance.

Getting started with Jira dashboards

Aug 28, 2025 By Blog In Squared Up
Jira is an industry favorite when it comes to managing software projects, yet its native dashboards can sometimes leave teams wanting more insight. The default views give a general update, but often lack the connection to the day-to-day activity happening in other parts of your workflow. As organizations use a wide mix of modern tools – from code repositories and cloud services to spreadsheets and reporting apps, it’s easy for critical details to get scattered or overlooked.

Optimize application performance at the network layer: introducing HTTP Performance Insights in Frontend Observability

Aug 27, 2025 By Cedric Ziel In Grafana
Imagine you’re a frontend engineer monitoring the user experience for an e-commerce app. You notice your checkout flow has a 15% abandonment rate. Your API responses are inconsistent. Your users are frustrated, and you’re drowning in data and complex queries trying to figure out why. Sound familiar? You can use real user monitoring (RUM) to determine what has happened, looking at page load times, error counts, user sessions, etc.
