In modern microservices-based applications, it is difficult to get an overview of how requests are performing across multiple services, infrastructure, and protocols. As companies began moving to distributed systems, they realized they needed a way to track requests in their entirety for debugging applications. Distributed tracing is a technology that was born out of this need.

With the goal of helping you get to the “why” faster, Splunk Observability recently announced several new enhancements to reduce noise and provide more visibility when isolating problems in your environments. Specific to applications and services, whether you operate monolithic or microservices architectures our releases help you easily investigate problems in complex environments. Here’s a roundup of the recent Splunk APM capability releases, and helpful links to help get started now.

I’m delighted to be able to share that the v7.2 release of eG Enterprise has added a number of significant enhancements to extend or support for GPUs in the datacenter and cloud. New GPU Monitoring Capabilities in eG Enterprise v7.2 include.

eG Innovations is an IGEL Ready partner, and I’m delighted to let you all know that we are sponsoring the IGEL DISRUPT End User Computing (EUC) Forum taking place in Nashville, April 3-5, 2023. DISRUPT is a major global event focused on end user computing and the delivery of secure, high-performance digital workspaces to increasingly distributed hybrid workforces, from the cloud.

For the team that’s down in the trenches untangling legacy code, writing unit tests, and just trying to come up with sensible variable names, it’s easy to lose sight of the other end of the process, where code meets customer. You test, you deploy, nothing breaks, and you move on. However, it’s just as important to keep an eye on code quality in production, and how it’s experienced. Experience, though, is hard to quantify. What do you measure? How do you measure it?

In this post, we will show you how to set up Redis monitoring with SigNoz - an open-source full-stack APM. SigNoz captures data using OpenTelemetry, which is becoming the world standard for instrumenting cloud-native applications. Apart from capturing metrics from your Redis server, you can also capture logs and traces with OpenTelemetry.

In an article a few months ago, my colleague covered the functionality within eG Enterprise that ensures secure and traceable audit trails for both users and admins of eG Enterprise allowing automated auditing and reporting for regulatory compliance and security, see Auditing Capabilities in IT Monitoring Tools | eG Innovations. Today, I will follow from this article and cover how eG Enterprise also controls and audits the execution of Remote Control Actions and scripts.

Cloud has become the de-facto standard for new application development. Kubernetes solves many problems of modern-day cloud infrastructure. It has made microservices-based distributed software systems possible, enabling organizations to provide on-demand scaling. But at the same time, Kubernetes has also increased operational complexity. In simple terms, Kubernetes is a container orchestration tool. Container environments are dynamic and ephemeral.

What would you be doing right now if the Internet didn't exist? The world wide web as we know it is only a few decades old, but it's hard to imagine life without it. I fondly recall the early days of the "personal" Internet, when I used a 56k modem and waited anxiously for that oh-so-familiar connecting sound to access my AOL account and check if I had mail. We've come a long way from those humble beginnings.

One-click dashboard templates are among a number of tools available within eG Enterprise to allow organizations to rapidly set up targeted and bespoke views for a wide range of audiences across their organizations, whilst avoid the costs and inconsistencies of building and maintaining many individual dashboards.
