We just announced the creation of a new RemoteWrite SDK to support custom metrics from applications using several different languages. This tutorial will give a quick rundown of how to use the Python SDK. Using these integrations, Prometheus users can send metrics directly to Logz.io using the RemoteWrite protocol without sending them to Prometheus first. Each SDK, while for a separate language, is each capable of working with frameworks like Thanos, Cortex, and of course M3DB.

We’re proud to announce the creation of a new RemoteWrite SDK to support custom metrics from applications using Golang (Go), Python, and Java, with many more on the way. Each SDK will have automatic, continuous deployment of updates. Using these integrations, Prometheus users can send metrics directly to Logz.io using the RemoteWrite protocol without sending them to Prometheus first.

Has GitKraken made my dev life easy? It’s been 6 months since I started at Pipefy as a Young Gun Tech. During these months, I have learned a lot and used various tools to streamline my work. For this post, I will talk about how I use the GitKraken Git GUI with GitLab, running on Ubuntu, because both tools have an awesome integration. So you can speed up your workflow just like me.

As we look to the future of Grafana Labs and our products, we are keen to expand the ways in which we can help engineering teams build, maintain, and operate great software. We believe we can only achieve this by paying careful attention to the developer experience and the challenges faced in the real world of engineering.

Eagle-eyed RapidSpike users will have noticed a big update to the app went live recently, with a major improvement to our Page Overview dashboard . Going back to September 2020, when we launched “RapidSpike Version 2” , we had great plans for the Page Overview – but they never quite materialised. Team efforts were focussed elsewhere and we did little to improve the old Page Overview or the data we displayed.

AIOps as a function is steadily gaining popularity, even climbing the Gartner Hype Cycle. Today’s observability tools go beyond merely monitoring to perform proactive remediation of events and incidents. However, what many of them lack is context. For instance, consider a regular AIOps solution that identifies an anomaly in system behavior. It will raise an alarm and a remediation workflow will do its job.

In our previous blog, we looked back at the year of transformation that was 2020. To say the last year was a bit hectic—even chaotic at times—would be an understatement. But for many organizations, IT saved the day. IT delivered and enabled technology solutions to keep the business in business.

I recently saw a user asking on EUC Slack “is there a Domain controller response time in ?”. Unfortunately for him, his choice of monitoring product doesn’t include such metrics. However, it did make me wonder if Citrix admins are aware of the importance of getting metrics about Domain Controllers, simply because many EUC monitoring tools fail to monitor them.

Rich Anakor, chief solutions architect at Vanguard, is on a small team with a big goal: Give Vanguard customers a better experience by enabling internal engineering teams to better understand their massively complex production environment—and to do that quickly across the entire organization, in the notoriously slow-moving financial services industry. They also had a big problem: The production environment itself.
