In this post, I will explain what are manual monitors? Manual monitors are monitors that do not actively monitor any resources. You can use them if you are using an external monitoring tool and can ping Fyipe API to create incidents. They can also be helpful to create manual incidents for your customers and show them on status page. Manual monitors can be created in just 2 simple steps.
Your servers generate heat—this is a fact common with any type of electronic device. The amount of heat they generate will vary, depending on where they are located and the number of servers in use. For example, a small business may have only one or two servers that are stored in a small server room. On the other hand, a large corporation could have hundreds of servers in a massive data center.
Managing projects isn’t an easy task, particularly if you’re managing parallel projects with inter-team dependencies. Lack of visibility coupled with difficulty in obtaining the right metrics on time can make it nearly impossible for project teams to track issues, action items, and risks, often resulting in projects running behind schedule, overshooting budgets, or worse, getting stalled due to unforeseen problems.
Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) is the preferred way to run Kubernetes on Google Cloud as it removes the operational overhead of managing the control plane. Earlier today, Google Cloud announced the general availability of GKE Autopilot, which manages your cluster’s entire infrastructure—both the control plane and worker nodes—so that you can spend more time building your applications.
ActiveRecord is Ruby on Rails’ most magical feature. We don’t usually need to worry about its inner workings, but when we do, here’s how AppSignal can help us know what’s going on under the hood.
DevOps came about as a result of ever-growing lags between development and operation. It’s a framework that deals with communication bottlenecks, allowing for smooth change management. DevOps monitoring is a crucial element and a necessity for this framework to succeed. Monitoring plays a vital role in realizing the underlying goals of DevOps. DevOps is all about eliminating technical inefficiencies and improving the speed of the whole cycle from development to deployment.
Security is paramount in today's digital world. Bad actors can use sensitive data to wreak havoc across thousands of machines in minutes if organizations do not have a solid cybersecurity strategy. Compliance requirements and regulations are increasingly calling for key management and strong encryption as part of a business's cybersecurity strategy. These are no longer optional but mandatory security requirements as DevOps also gains in popularity for agile development and application deployment.
Transformations were introduced in Grafana v7.0, and I’d like to remind you that you can use them to do some really nifty things with your data. All performed right in the browser! Transformations process the result set of a query before it’s passed on for visualization. They allow you to join separate time series together, do maths across queries, and more. My number one use case is usually doing maths across multiple data sources.
Your continuous integration (CI) pipelines are at the core of the change management process for your applications. When set up correctly, the CI pipeline can automate many manual tasks to ensure that your application and the environments it runs in are consistent and repeatable. This pipeline can be an integral part of your security strategy if you use it to scan applications, containers, and infrastructure configuration for vulnerabilities.
