In an earlier blog post, we had discussed how server performance monitoring is not just about monitoring CPU, memory, and disk resources anymore. There is more to server performance monitoring than just three resources or metrics. That blog post covered several key performance indicators (KPIs) that IT teams must track to ensure that their servers are performing well. In this blog post, we focus on another KPI – server uptime.

The Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is Microsoft’s cloud-based identity and access management (IAM) service and an identity provider (IdP). Azure AD is the backbone for authentication in Microsoft 365 and for thousands of cloud-based SaaS applications. Azure AD provides several features for your organization and one of the features is the Microsoft Identity Platform.

Performance monitoring is critical for a healthy software application. If you don’t have synthetic testing or real user monitoring in place, opportunities for performance optimizations are slipping through the cracks. With the guidance of a monitoring tool, on the other hand, you could be fixing problems such as slow-loading pages within the hour. The two main types of application monitoring are Real User Monitoring (RUM) and synthetic testing (or synthetic monitoring).

With the rapid pace of change in applications and the infrastructure they run on, it’s more important now than ever to monitor what’s happening. Using an application performance monitoring (APM) tool can help provide the necessary visibility and insight you need for proactive and reactive problem resolution. But whether you’re looking for a replacement or have no monitoring in place, where do you start?

Hola! Welcome to SigNal 09, where I will run you through the updates of the first month of 2022! The focus of the month was our upcoming brand new Traces page. It will enhance the application debugging experience manifolds with powerful filters to see your data across different dimensions. We also launched our Technical Writer Program. The idea is to educate our community more about SigNoz, OpenTelemetry, and distributed tracing among other things.

If you’ve ever started a project to improve the load times for your website, web app, or mobile app, your heart is in the right place — but your efforts might not be. For many technology leaders, the first instinct is to blame code and infrastructure. They dive deep into optimizing front-end code, scale infrastructure resources, or migrate to a new type of database-as-a-service offering that promises to process requests a few milliseconds faster.

Modern software development is a high-pressure affair. Competition means getting to market faster with higher quality code and being able to release software quicker, monitor it and both find and fix problems quickly. By using modern tools and building a new approach and workflow to allow for monitoring, observability, and intelligent and actionable alerts it is possible to achieve faster release cycles with higher code quality.

Are you ready to raise your organizational resilience bar and enhance agility and collaboration across your IT teams? Full-stack observability can help.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are measurable metrics that track a company’s performance against its key business objectives. And they are important for a variety of reasons.
