Logging helps developers in reducing errors and cyber-attacks. The application is designed to be dynamic. We can't always predict how an application will react to data changes, errors, or program changes. Logging in allows us to better understand our own programs. For all applications, an absolute logging solution is essential. A good logging system increases the application's stability and makes it easier to maintain on the production server.
The word "forecast" typically brings to mind weather predictions that have evolved through sources like snippets on television, newspaper columns, or the very popular, "Alexa, what's today's weather?" However, a financial forecast is something very different.
As IT landscape is changing from in-house systems and servers to cloud ones, server monitoring has become an essential task. Without server monitoring, it’s not possible to detect issues in memory, operating systems, storage drives or applications. Server monitoring is vital to know what went wrong and what was the cause behind the problem.
A database is a collection of organized information for easy access and management. Computer databases generally consist of aggregated data or files that contain information about customers, transactions, or inventories. Regular monitoring of the database’s performance is necessary to ensure that it is running properly and to detect issues as they arise. Here is a short database monitoring guide that can assist you in choosing the right tools.
Once upon a time there was the internet, and it was good, and it was global. We built our businesses across its networks and expanded our commerce from computer to cloud. Like with any physical trade route, the journeys are not always consistent. If your website is your flagship, your reports are your map. Sites rely on servers and it’s possible that your site might be UP in the UK but DOWN in Dallas.
We recently heard that a customer, a power user of Prometheus, was grappling with 18,000 individual rules for its metrics, because its setup involved creating an individual rule group for each generated metric. Surely there was a better, more efficient way to handle this scale of metrics? In fact, we did come up with a solution, and this blog post will walk you through how you might benefit from it too.
Visualizing trends in your logs is critical when troubleshooting an issue with your application. Using the histogram in Logs Explorer, you can quickly visualize log volumes over time to help spot anomalies, detect when errors started and see a breakdown of log volumes. But static visualizations are not as helpful as having more options for customization during your investigations.
Do you author plans for Puppet Enterprise? Looking for ways to improve them? Read on! The Puppet Plan language allows a variety of methods to pick targets. In this article we will explore two of these methods (TargetSpec parameters and PuppetDB queries) and how plan authors can employ the latter to: Note: the following examples assume that you are running against targets that have the Puppet agent installed.
