As a developer working with Linux systems, containers, or Kubernetes, it's crucial to understand process termination signals, particularly SIGKILL and SIGTERM. This comprehensive guide will explore these signals, their differences, and their implications in various environments. We'll delve into best practices, common scenarios, and advanced considerations to help you manage process termination effectively in your applications.

We are excited to share that our Early Warning Signals feature, previously in beta, is now fully available to all StatusGator users on all plans. This long-awaited feature ensures you never miss a beat and keeps you informed of outages before a provider publicly acknowledges them on their status page. Since its beta launch, this feature has successfully detected multiple service outages before they were officially acknowledged by each provider.

In today’s complex cloud-native environments, observability is key to maintaining performance, reliability, and scalability. However, different teams often need to focus on different aspects of the system. Developers might be more interested in error rates and response times, while operations teams must monitor system health and resource utilization. Lumigo now supports multiple dashboards, so you can provide each team with the information they need precisely how they need it.

In the first part of this series, we saw that even if you just use AppSignal’s default application monitoring, you can get a lot of information about how your Phoenix application is running. Even so, there are many ways in which a Phoenix application may exhibit performance issues, such as slow database queries, poorly engineered LiveView components, views that are too heavy, or non-optimized assets.

In recent years, we’ve significantly advanced how we think about and use topology within AIOps and Observability solutions from Broadcom, while solidly building on our innovative domain tools. We’re eager to share these innovations, advancements, and benefits for IT operations. In this blog post, we level-set on the topic of topology, clarify several important concepts, and discuss the decisive role topology plays in delivering powerful capabilities for AIOps and Observability from Broadcom.

The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is an important part of the Java programming language, allowing applications to run on any device with the JVM, regardless of the hardware and operating system. It interprets Java bytecode and manages memory, garbage collection, and performance optimization to ensure smooth execution and scalability. Effective JVM monitoring is critical for performance and stability. This is where OpenTelemetry comes into play.

VxRail appliances, a powerful collaboration between Dell EMC and VMware, are designed to streamline IT operations and deliver exceptional performance for virtualized workloads. But like any complex system, ensuring peak performance and preventing disruptions requires constant vigilance. This is where VxRail monitoring becomes a lifesaver.

Trying to refine your org structure and already using VMware Tanzu CloudHealth? You might have stumbled across the word FlexOrgs. If you have, you’re likely scratching your head and wondering what FlexOrgs are and, more importantly, if they can help you. Don’t worry. We have the answers to your FlexOrg questions (and more!). Still unsure how to get started?

In today’s world, everything is online; cyber resilience is very important. Companies depend heavily on their IT setup to keep things running smoothly.
