Recent Linux kernel releases are coming weaponized with built-in instrumentation framework that has its roots in what historically was approached as BPF (Berkeley Packet Filter) – a very efficient network packet filtering mechanism which aims to avoid unnecessary user space allocations and operate on packet’s data directly in kernel land. The most familiar application of BPF powers is related to filter expressions used in tcpdump tool.
Daniel Feller, a lead architect at Citrix, recently posted a couple of very interesting articles relating to troubleshooting Citrix logon issues. These blogs highlight challenging Citrix issues and how to go about locating the root cause of these issues.
It’s already a couple of months into the new year, but a lot of us are still likely thinking about what we can improve on. You can call it resolutions, goals, or something else, but many of us will be fine-tuning our mindsets and attitudes so we can be more productive and successful in 2019. In this blog, I’ll detail why I developed an Agile approach to goals for the year—and how adopting an Agile mindset can help you achieve yours.
The decision to introduce Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) technology is not an easy one. One of the most important aspects to consider is precisely the administration and monitoring of VDI. From the point of view of the monitoring analyst the approach to this issue is direct: if VDI is part of the platform and we have users who access applications from a virtual desktop, it is clear that this technology must be monitored. Now, how often are we going to come across a platform that includes VDI?
February has been a great month of industry recognition with our inclusion in 451 Research’s Market Map for Application and Infrastructure Performance and Startup50.com naming us a “Hot Startup to Watch.” To access recent OpsRamp coverage, be sure to visit our newsroom.
You’re losing time every day — time that your employees could spend focusing on critical tasks, solving persistent problems or innovating new ideas. Instead, they’re fighting with technology, struggling to make devices and services perform as they should. As noted by Information Age, the average U.K. worker loses more than nine days per year due to technology trouble.
The number of open source components in proprietary apps continues to rise—a 2018 code audit found that there were 257 open source components per proprietary application. The same audit found that 57 percent of the average proprietary application codebase was open source.
Even if you haven't heard of data described as a "time-series," you've probably seen examples out in the wild. As the name suggests, a time-series is a representation of an event over a period of time. That could mean representing many different changes: your application usage data, such as error rates over time or the growing number of activations per day.
Gain insight into what happens in the Cloud. Using the NiCE Active O365 Management Pack for Microsoft SCOM, advanced monitoring has never been easier. The NiCE Active O365 Management Pack smart algorithm determines problems and their severity way upfront. Even the specter of global service outages has to confess. Leverage your existing investment, reduce costs, save time and build efficiencies that will last beyond your expectations.
C# logs can be an invaluable resource for optimizing application performance and debugging errors. But it’s not easy to extract the full potential of your logs if they’re not providing enough context around each error, or if they’re written in a format that’s difficult to parse.
