Why You Shouldn't Use OpenTracing In 2022

OpenTracing was an open-source project developed to provide vendor-neutral APIs and instrumentation for distributed tracing across a variety of environments. As it is often extremely difficult for engineers to see the behaviour of requests when they are working across services in a distributed environment, OpenTracing aimed to provide a solution to heighten observability.

How to Secure Your Data in the Cloud

We’ve entered a time when hard drives are becoming less important than data speeds, syncing, and remote storage. More and more end-users are saving their files in the cloud for convenience, safety, and cost savings. That said, some people still have concerns about cloud computing -- namely around security. How safe are files that are stored hundreds or thousands of miles away, on some other organization’s hardware?

Why is Remote Monitoring & Maintenance Important for Companies?

Many business operations and tasks are carried out in a distributed manner in this remote/hybrid and mobile era. From locations throughout the world, managed service providers (MSPs) and their clients are attempting to accomplish more with fewer resources. Any MSP expansion needs a remote monitoring management (RMM) platform to assist efficient techs, happy customers, and seamless business operations.

An introduction to OpenTelemetry Metrics

OpenTelemetry is a collection of APIs, SDKs, and libraries that provide an open source observability framework for instrumenting, generating, collecting, and exporting telemetry data like metrics, traces, and logs. It is incubated under Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), the same foundation which incubated Kubernetes. OpenTelemetry is quietly becoming the world standard for instrumenting cloud-native applications.

What Are the Fixed Asset Management Software Features Useful for Businesses?

An organization is equipped with a lot of assets and inventories, and they are essential for running day-to-day operations. If an essential asset is not found or it suddenly stops working, then it impacts other business operations as well. These types of scenarios are common when asset maintenance work is done manually. What’s the solution? It’s fixed asset management software. This software simplifies daily work and gives stability to work.

InfluxDB Python Client Library: A Deep Dive into the WriteAPI

InfluxDB is an open-source time series database. Built to handle enormous volumes of time-stamped data produced from IoT devices to enterprise applications. As data sources for InfluxDB can exist in many different situations and scenarios, providing different ways to get data into InfluxDB is essential. The InfluxDB client libraries are language-specific packages that integrate with the InfluxDB v2 API. These libraries give users a powerful method of sending, querying, and managing InfluxDB.

The Ultimate OpenTelemetry Guide for Developers

OpenTelemetry is a free and open-source software initiative with the objective of supplying software developers with the means to create distributed systems. OpenTelemetry was developed by engineers at Google, and developers have the ability to utilize it to create a standard foundation for the construction of distributed systems. The goal is to enable developers to write code once and then deploy it in any location of their choosing.

How Denmark's Energinet uses Grafana Enterprise to monitor underwater energy cables - and do detective work

If an energy cable running through the waters surrounding Denmark gets damaged by a passing vessel, does it make a sound? Yes. . . and it’s the ping of a Grafana alert at the offices of Energinet, an independent public enterprise owned by the Danish Ministry of Climate, Energy, and Utilities.
