Printers play a crucial role in various industries, helping businesses efficiently manage their document workflows. However, ensuring optimal printer performance and minimizing downtime can be a challenge. This is where hosted graphite comes into the picture. Hosted graphite is a powerful monitoring tool that allows businesses to graph metrics and gain valuable insights into their printer systems.

In the realm of IT infrastructure monitoring, Nagios has long been a popular choice due to its robust feature set and flexibility. However, even reliable systems can encounter issues, and one recurring problem that Nagios users might encounter is the "Return code of x is out of bounds" error. In this blog post, we'll dive into the details of this error, what causes it, and how it can impact your monitoring efforts.

We have recently added a more detailed anomaly rate chart to Netdata that breaks out the overall node anomaly rate by type, this lets you more easily see what parts of your infrastructure might be experiencing an uptick in anomalies when you see the overall node anomaly rate increase.

Containers and microservices have revolutionized the way applications are deployed on the cloud. Since its launch in 2014, Kubernetes has become a de-facto standard as a container orchestration tool. With traditional approaches of deploying applications in production, developers often release updates or new features all at once, which can lead to issues if there are bugs or other issues that weren’t caught during testing.

We're excited to introduce a new enhancement to help teams build more reliable software: Detected Risks. Available today, Detected Risks helps you find and fix the most common causes of infrastructure outages and incidents in minutes—without running Chaos Engineering experiments or reliability tests.

The colocation data center is a type of service where organizations can rent out space in a data center facility to house their IT infrastructure. These facilities provide the power, cooling, and network connectivity that companies require to operate their servers, storage devices, and applications. Colocation services allow companies to reduce costs and avoid the hassle of building and maintaining their data center facilities.

Microservices architecture has become increasingly popular in modern software development due to its scalability, resilience, and flexibility. However, with the benefits of microservices come the challenges of debugging and monitoring these distributed systems. Using the Istio service mesh, OpenTelemetry distributed tracing, and Apica’s Kubernetes-native observability platform, developers can easily collect and visualize performance data in real-time to identify and fix issues quickly.

Large language models (LLMs) are the topic of the year. They are as complex as they are exciting, and everyone can agree they put artificial intelligence in the spotlight. Once LLms were released to the public, the hype around them grew and so did their potential use cases – LLM-based chatbots being one of them. While large language models have been available for some time, there are still a lot of challenges when it comes to building your own project.

Gartner recently published its Hype Cycle for Site Reliability Engineering, 2023, (July 2023) report. OnPage was inspired by this report to share its prediction about the future of site reliability engineering. In this blog, OnPage will review evolutionary tools that can improve site reliability engineering practices.
