The AppScope Origin Story

Since we introduced AppScope in 2021, we’ve been relentlessly working towards the production-ready milestone. Last week we released AppScope 1.0. It’s been a long haul getting to this point. Not really sure if it took this long because we solved difficult problems, or if we’re just that slow. Someone told me that what we are doing would go a lot faster if we use a modern high-level language. Maybe … Can you imagine doing this in TypeScript? Yeah, me either.

Using Lambda Extensions to Streamline Observability

Lambda is a top-rated compute service available on the AWS cloud service network. Its popularity largely derives from its ease of use, allowing users to run Lambda functions reliably without provisioning or managing servers. Lambda can be triggered manually or by any linked events in the AWS network, including DynamoDB streams, SQS, Kinesis, and more.

Deep Dive into the App Start Experience

Our customers rely on Splunk’s mobile apps when they are on-call and troubleshooting in high-stress situations. Splunk’s customer base includes 96 of the Fortune 100 , many of whom rely directly on Splunk’s mobile app to help them solve outages or large scale performance problems. Therefore, they need a reliable quality of experience they have with our products and services. My team and I work on two mobile apps at Splunk: 1.

How to monitor ActiveMQ logs and metrics

ActiveMQ is a message-oriented middleware, which means that it is a piece of software that handles messages across applications. It acts as a broker that can help facilitate asynchronous communication patterns like publish-subscribe and message queues. The main goal of those servers is to create a scalable and reliable message bus that different components can use to communicate with each other.

Logging Blindspots: Top 7 Mistakes that are Hindering Your Log Management Strategy

Today, virtually everyone who manages infrastructure or applications relies on logging to understand what is happening within their environments. But some teams do logging better than others. Although there is no one right – or wrong – approach to log management, there are a variety of logging mistakes that engineers commonly make when deciding what to log, how to log it, and how to work with their log data.

Use Log Analytics to gain application performance, security, and business insights

Whether you’re investigating an issue or simply exploring your data, the ability to perform advanced log analytics is key to uncovering patterns and insights. Datadog Log Management makes it easy to centralize your log data, which you can then manipulate and analyze to answer complex questions.

IoT Security: How Important are Logs for System?

IoT has rapidly moved from a fringe technology to a mainstream collection of techniques, protocols, and applications that better enable you to support and monitor a highly distributed, complex system. One of the most critical challenges to overcome is processing an ever-growing stream of analytics data, from IoT security data to business insights, coming from each device. Many protocols have been implemented for this, but could logs provide a powerful option for IoT data and IoT monitoring?

Debugging Node.js Memory Leaks: How to Detect, Solve or Avoid Them in Applications

In this article, you’ll learn how to understand and debug the memory usage of a Node.js application and use monitoring tools to get a complete insight into what is happening with the heap memory and garbage collection. Here’s what you’ll get by the end of this tutorial. Memory leaks often go unnoticed. This is why I suggest using a tool to keep track of historical data of garbage collection cycles and to notify you if the heap memory usage starts spiking uncontrollably.
