We were in Portland this week attending Monitorama - one of our favorite annual conferences. We got the chance to catch up with old friends, make some new ones, and be part of an amazing community of passionate data and monitoring aficionados. Looking forward to Monitorama AMS in September! Also this week we released Grafana v5.2.0-beta1 and… Elasticsearch alerting has arrived! Download it today and let us know what you think. Check out the specifics on the beta release below.

Many enterprises are at the brink of digital transformation, which entails adopting new technologies that process a sea of both personal and enterprise-level data. Despite a surging number of innovations to prevent evolving cyber threats from hijacking that data, the sheer number of successful, high-profile data breaches and attacks recently highlight the insufficient security practices of organizations around the globe.

Just recently we launched AppDynamics for Kubernetes, giving enterprises end-to-end, unified visibility into their entire Kubernetes stack and Kubernetes-orchestrated applications for both on-prem and public cloud environments. Our industry-leading APM provides visibility into Kubernetes by leveraging labels such as Namespace, Pod or ReplicaSet. And AppDynamics customers can organize, group, query or filter Kubernetes objects or performance metrics based on labels.

StatusCake has always valued it’s community user base; It’s always been our view that if we can support companies at their earliest stages then down the line when they need more advanced monitoring then they know and understand our feature rich product; While other website monitoring platforms are doing more and more to restrict what their free users get, we’ve been looking at what more we can provide and with that in mind have made some improvements to the community plan.

Complex distributed systems run just about every service imaginable. Healthcare systems that monitor patient health, security systems, and financial systems are all mission-critical. Downtime, or lack of availability, loses money and can even put lives at risk. These systems must be monitored. Many measurements are useful to keep systems running with as little downtime as possible. One of those is Mean Time To Recovery. (MTTR.)

SAN FRANCISCO – June 7, 2018 – PagerDuty today announced PagerDuty Event Intelligence, a new product that builds on its market-leading digital operations management platform. Event Intelligence analyzes both incoming digital signals and human response patterns (such as when and how alerts are resolved by responders) and uses automation to identify issues quickly, enabling teams to take action on critical software issues and opportunities.

Across every industry and operational model we serve, customers tell us they’re struggling with finding the actionable signal in a sea of data. The systems and services teams run are growing more complex every year, and headcount never scales at the same rate.
