New Integration: Declare FireHydrant Incidents from Checkly Alerts

Streamlining your incident management process is what we do best, and one of the ways we do that is by acting as the connective tissue across all of your applications. We’ve partnered with Checkly to bring you a new integration that empowers you to detect problems and resolve incidents faster.

Tips for Application Troubleshooting

It is easier to perform application troubleshooting when you know that protocols are in place. For instance, knowing the core features of the application and how the application functions is already a standard. Also, you’ll need to expand the coverage like the requirements of Quality of Service (QoS). Does the application need real-time performance or does it need to move a lot of data? Are there sub-applications running on the endpoints?

InfluxDB OSS and Enterprise Roadmap Update from InfluxDays EMEA

Since the initial release of InfluxDB OSS 2.0 in November 2020, more than 10% of the community has successfully upgraded, and the pace of the upgrades continues at a steady rate. We have released a number of maintenance releases to address defects, expand platform coverage, and enhance the update experience based on feedback.

Designing a Parquet Catalog for InfluxDB IOx

One of the things we needed to either adopt or build for InfluxDB IOx is a database catalog. If you haven’t heard us talk about it yet, InfluxDB IOx (pronounced eye-ox) is the new in-memory columnar database that uses object storage for persistence. We’re building it as the future core of InfluxDB. A database catalog usually contains the definitions of a database’s structure like schema and indexes.

The 5 most shocking websites to go down in May

As May draws to a close, it’s that time again to share with you the most surprising websites that went down this month. Now, I don’t like to “out” anyone but I do like to use these to emphasise that website downtime can affect any website, big or small. And ultimately, the impact is the same – potential customers gone elsewhere, higher bounce rate, lower SEO, and worst of all, lost revenue.

Strategic roadmap to ensure Exchange security

With the quantum leap in the adoption of remote work environments, cybercriminals are turning their attention on the security vulnerabilities in these environments. On top of this, protecting remote connections is becoming increasingly difficult because hacking techniques have become more sophisticated. At ManageEngine, we’ve designed a seven-step strategy to help ensure holistic Exchange security: Detect attacks before they cause damage.

Create powerful data visualizations with the new Datadog dashboards experience

Dashboards are a crucial tool in your monitoring arsenal, as they allow you to visualize and correlate telemetry data from across your stack in a single place. Historically, Datadog offered two dashboard types: Screenboards, for pixel-level control on a canvas, and Timeboards, for troubleshooting a specific point in time. Now, we’re excited to introduce a new dashboard layout that combines the best of Timeboards and Screenboards in a single, seamless editing experience.

How to debug Kubernetes Pending pods and scheduling failures

When Kubernetes launches and schedules workloads in your cluster, such as during an update or scaling event, you can expect to see short-lived spikes in the number of Pending pods. As long as your cluster has sufficient resources, Pending pods usually transition to Running status on their own as the Kubernetes scheduler assigns them to suitable nodes. However, in some scenarios, Pending pods will fail to get scheduled until you fix the underlying problem.

Use Datadog's Notebooks API to programmatically manage your notebooks

Datadog Notebooks simplify the way teams across an organization find and share knowledge. By bringing together live data and rich Markdown text, Notebooks help teams create powerful, data-driven documents—from runbooks and support playbooks to incident postmortems and data reports. And with collaboration functionalities like real-time editing and commenting, team members can simultaneously make changes to a document and gather feedback along the way.
