Enhance user insights with Custom Measurements & Timing

When we talk about Real User Monitoring (RUM), it’s easy to get wrapped up in metrics—the hard numbers that tell us about our users’ experiences. But RUM is more than just data; it’s the foundation for improving performance, an essential key to user experience.

Top Networking Monitoring Tools

Businesses rely on accurate network monitoring data because the network is the backbone of IT infrastructure. Lacking internal or external communication about your network can be disastrous, especially if you provide digital goods or services. Network monitoring tools shouldn't be a "nice to have" that may or may not make this year's department budget. They are essential to monitoring performance, spotting anomalies, and identifying potential security issues.

Network Observability: Mastering Infrastructure Data for Smarter IT

If you want to know exactly what’s on your network and how it’s all connected in real time, then network observability is the answer. Network observability pulls data from sources across your network infrastructure to model a detailed view of your systems and how they interact. This lets you understand exactly what’s happening on your network at any given moment so you can optimize performance.

Understanding IoT Logging Formats in Azure and AWS

Internet of Things (IoT) devices are everywhere you look. From the smartwatch on your wrist to the security cameras protecting your offices, connected IoT devices transmit all kinds of data. However, these compact devices are different from the other technologies your organization uses. Unlike traditional devices, IoT devices lack a standardized set of security capabilities, making them easier for attackers to exploit.

Unlocking the Power of UIMAPI: Automating Probe Configuration

The UIMAPI is a RESTful API. With UIMAPI you can programmatically perform almost any action in your DX UIM environment. Using the Swagger front-end as a guide, you can manually execute REST endpoints. However, many customers would rather use a program to automate these actions.

Against Incident Severities and in Favor of Incident Types

About a year ago, Honeycomb kicked off an internal experiment to structure how we do incident response. We looked at the usual severity-based approach (usually using a SEV scale), but decided to adopt an approach based on types, aiming to better play the role of quick definitions for multiple departments put together. This post is a short report on our experience doing it.

How Implementing Load Balancing Optimizes Service Performance

Considering implementing load balancing? Slow websites and website downtime are more than just nuisances. One study found that slow-loading websites cost online retailers more than $77 billion each year in lost sales. Over half of consumers cite a slow webpage as the main reason for abandoning an online purchase, and just under half will not return to a website after a bad experience.
