Kubernetes has changed the way many organizations approach the deployment of their applications. But despite its benefits, the additional layers of abstraction and reams of data can cause complexity around Kubernetes monitoring. We’ve seen so much of these challenges borne out in the results of the 2024 Observability Pulse survey. In the survey report, 36% of respondents say Kubernetes poses a challenge, and just 10% of organizations say they have full observability into their environments.

Microsoft Azure provides an array of managed services to support many aspects of cloud computing, including application development, workload migration, and data management. To help you monitor the health and performance of these services, Datadog offers integrations with more than 40 Azure services, including Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Cosmos DB, and Azure App Services. Each integration provides robust data visualizations, meaningful alerts, and one-click Datadog Agent deployment.

The expenses associated with collecting, storing, indexing, and analyzing data have become a considerable challenge for organizations. This data is growing as fast as 35% a year, multiplying the problems. This surge in data comes with a corresponding rise in infrastructure costs. These costs often force organizations to make decisions about what data they can afford to analyze, which tools they must use, and how and where to store data for long-term retention.

The Uptrace team is pleased to present the latest v1.7 release, which introduces dark mode, revamped navigation, dashboards list, system tracing metrics, and much more.

Observability has emerged as a distinct approach within the broader scope of IT management, enabling organizations to gain valuable insights into their complex IT ecosystems. By collecting and analyzing data from various sources, observability provides a holistic understanding of system behavior and performance, streamlining troubleshooting and optimization efforts.

Observability tools help engineering teams understand the health and behavior of software. But the term “health” in the context of this type of tooling is fairly narrow in scope—pertaining to real-time performance, reliability, and availability. While these are three important metrics to monitor, they’re lagging indicators of bigger issues happening upstream.

If you are an MSP, AIOps can be a game changer for your business. By leveraging AI-driven automation, analytics, and insights across your managed IT services portfolio, you can drive operational excellence, improve service quality, and deliver greater value to your clients.

Manage and correlate signals and alerts in Elastic Observability As organizations embrace increasingly complex and interconnected IT systems, the sheer volume of alerts generated by diverse monitoring tools has given rise to a critical challenge — how do we efficiently sift through the noise to identify and respond to the most crucial issues? Event management and correlation are two indispensable pillars in the realm of IT service management.

IT teams are the invisible engines powering every modern organization. Yet they battle constantly to ensure the availability and reliability of applications and services across fragmented, hybrid-cloud infrastructures. In particular: Fragmented tools, siloed workflows, and inconsistent manual processes create an IT nightmare. Despite investing millions in observability and ITSM platforms, teams face alert fatigue, reactive incident response, and persistent outages.

The more data you have, the harder it becomes to read through it, let alone identify trends or crucial patterns. Couple that with a shortage of time, and the ability not only to visualize but also to communicate with your data becomes paramount.
