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.

Visualize Logs Alongside Metrics: Complete Observability for Slow MongoDB Operations

Sep 3, 2025 By Benjamin Pitts In MetricFire
MongoDB’s strength of flexible schema and fast iteration can also hide costly queries until they surface as user-facing latency, replica lag, or spiky CPU. A handful of slow operations can impact the cache, starve other workloads, and cascade into timeouts across services. Monitoring slow queries gives you an early warning system for index gaps and query-plan regressions introduced by code deploys, schema changes, or shifting data shapes.

The hidden costs of shadow AI: CPU drain, data risk, and network bottlenecks

Sep 3, 2025 By Ben Botti In Auvik
The risk of headline-grabbing incidents, like Samsung’s ChatGPT data leak, related to AI usage outside of the authorization and control of IT (a.k.a. shadow AI) is clear. Most IT teams recognize that a high-profile incident can have serious repercussions. However, the risk of shadow AI goes well beyond the risk of a single incident. In fact, the recent Komprise IT Survey indicates that 79% of organizations have experienced negative outcomes from sending corporate data to AI.

Weaving AppNeta Experience Insights into DX NetOps: A Step-by-Step Guide

Sep 3, 2025 By Robert Kettles In Broadcom
Today’s enterprise networks aren’t constrained to a single location—they span continents, clouds, and providers, and they’re relied upon by users who can work from anywhere. For network operations teams, that means every issue is a potential scavenger hunt. Is it the app? The WAN? The cloud provider? The ISP? The stakes are high and your tools need to evolve. That’s why the integration of DX NetOps and AppNeta is such a game-changer.

Why database monitoring is critical for application performance

Sep 3, 2025 By Grace Nalini In Site24x7
When an application slows down, users rarely think about the database—but in many cases, that’s where the bottleneck lies. Databases sit at the core of nearly every application, storing, retrieving, and processing the information that powers business transactions, analytics, and user interactions. A minor inefficiency in query execution or a spike in resource usage can cascade into multiple issues, starting with degraded application performance, service interruptions, or even downtime.

Bringing Observability to Claude Code: OpenTelemetry in Action

Sep 3, 2025 By Goutham Karthi In SigNoz
AI coding assistants like Claude Code are becoming core parts of modern development workflows. But as with any powerful tool, the question quickly arises: how do we measure and monitor its usage? Without proper visibility, it’s hard to understand adoption, performance, and the real value Claude brings to engineering teams. For leaders and platform engineers, that lack of observability can mean flying blind when it comes to understanding ROI, productivity gains, or system reliability.

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.

Using Digital Collaboration to Foster Innovation and Creativity

Using Digital Collaboration to Foster Innovation and Creativity

Sep 3, 2025 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
Innovation doesn't emerge from isolated moments of inspiration - it grows from the ability of teams to connect ideas, share knowledge, and act on opportunities at the right time. In many organizations, the challenge isn't a lack of creativity but the difficulty of nurturing it in fragmented systems. When communication lives in one channel, tasks in another, and data in yet another, potential breakthroughs are often slowed down or lost altogether. That is why more businesses are adopting project management tools that bring people, processes, and insights together in one environment.
