The latest News and Information on Monitoring for Websites, Applications, APIs, Infrastructure, and other technologies.
In any type of organization and at any scale, logs are essential to a comprehensive monitoring stack. They provide granular, point-in-time insights into the health, security, and performance of your whole environment, making them critical for key workflows such as incident response, security investigations, auditing, and performance analysis. Many organizations generate millions (or even billions) of log events across their tech stack every day.
With the growing adoption of automated deployment tools, many organizations are releasing code more frequently. As releases increase, it’s important to ensure that you don’t accidentally introduce faulty deployments, which can have wide-ranging impacts on your infrastructure, application, and end-user experience, and can potentially lead to costly rollbacks.
Software testing has been an established discipline as old as software development itself. We have seen significant evolution of testing practices recently specially driven by Continuous Delivery and DevOps, where testing is increasingly integrated with agile development and other software lifecycle practices.
With countless observability tools, data sources, and environments to juggle, the organizations that deploy and manage today’s distributed applications often face an uphill battle to gain visibility into their application performance. That was a key takeaway from the Grafana Labs Observability Survey 2023, which incorporated input from more than 250 industry practitioners who are all too familiar with these complexities.
Our latest release of eG Enterprise, version 7.2 is accompanied by significant enhancements and new features for our popular eG Enterprise mobile app for iOS and Android. These apps allow administrators to access the eG Enterprise administrator console on the go and receive meaningful alerts and push notifications with click throughs to deep diagnosis rather than dumb text messages.
Today, GitHub announced the public beta of Deployment Protection Rules for GitHub Actions for GitHub Enterprise users. In support of that launch, we’ve partnered with GitHub to create the Honeycomb Deployment Protection Rule (available as a GitHub App). This rule lets you run Honeycomb queries so that you can get real-time performance feedback from your services before deciding whether to prevent deployment of your code to a specific environment.
For the third time, we initiated the Icinga Feedback Week. Why? Because your opinion matters to us, a lot. Even though, we do get feedback throughout the year, our yearly Feedback Week is a chance for us, to ask you specific questions to certain topics. By understanding your thoughts and feelings towards Icinga, we aim to develop the most effective monitoring tool for you. But that wasn’t all: as a good tradition, we asked you to choose your Community Heroes and we have found five!
This guide explores the benefits of embedded caching for ISPs and discusses deployment optimization strategies and future trends in CDN technology. Embedded CDNs help reduce network congestion, save costs, and improve user experiences. ISPs must carefully plan their deployment strategies by considering how each of the CDNs distributes content and directs end-users to the caches. They need to know both the CDNs and their network architecture in detail to build a successful solution.
