Improved Database Support Enhances Data Visibility and Helps Resolve Problems Faster

Total visibility is crucial to monitoring the database environments that support your most critical applications. That’s why AppDynamics recently released a number of updates to our Database Visibility functionality. Not only do we now support monitoring Couchbase, but we also added snapshot correlation, support for custom cluster configuration, and enhancements to our ability to collect and track custom database metrics.

Pandora FMS as an alternative to IBM® Tivoli® Netcool®.

When it comes to Pandora FMS as a netcool alternative. In this case Pandora FMS breaks with the established monitoring: we avoid the complex and fragmented monitoring of multiple products with different and separate user interfaces, operating on separate code bases and even separate storage from each other; all this only results in an extremely complicated implementation and even worse, it makes maintenance difficult once it has been implemented.

New: Crash by device breakdown for easier mobile debugging

The Raygun platform is designed to surface as much actionable information about errors so, as a developer, you not only fix them quickly but gain context into what causes errors in the first place. Today we’re announcing a new feature for both Crash Reporting and Real User Monitoring: Crash by device. This new feature helps mobile developers understand which devices cause the most crashes, so replicating errors becomes easier.

Error tracking with Vue.js

Vue (pronounced /vjuː/, like view) is a progressive framework for building user interfaces on the web. Vue can power sophisticated single-page applications and is often used in combination with modern tooling and supporting libraries. We’ll show you how to add error handling in a Vue application to capture caught and uncaught errors. This gives you an opportunity to recover and update what’s presented to the user, as well as track the error to prioritize fixes.

Feature Spotlight: Domain Blacklist Check

Domain Blacklist checks from Uptime.com will check your site once each day against approximately 100 of the most well-known spam blacklists to determine if your mail server appears on them. Your domain may be flagged as a spam website for sending too many emails, for sending spam emails, or due to repeated reports by email recipients that the site is spam.

4 Cloud Infrastructure Monitoring Best Practices To Enhance End User Experience

I’ve seen so many new types of infrastructure technologies impact the performance of the modern data center. All-flash technologies help consolidate systems, virtualization helps to deliver powerful workloads to a variety of users, and even convergence has helped remove legacy from the data center. Most of all, these solutions are all coupled with the cloud to really help an organization become agile and much more efficient.

Join the Discussion on Sentry's Streamlined SDKs

If you use Sentry, you’re probably familiar with our SDKs. While they aren’t the only reason for Sentry’s success, they do play a very important role, from the first time an error is thrown to the moment you fix the bug. SDKs are often like political figures (editor’s note: there are so many things we resisted saying here) — you don’t notice them if they do a good job. Jokes aside, there are very few expectations for an SDK.

Use Case: Using Maintenance Windows to Set Up Alert Schedules

For many of our users reacting to downtime data sent from a monitoring system such as StatusCake.com is a 24 hour job, and the process incorporates many staff who will have varying responsibilities, and sometimes work quite different hours. This is particularly true of companies who run “follow-the-sun” with their global dev-ops teams picking up the baton from the last as their time zone starts its working day.
