Monitoring solutions can either pull monitoring information from devices by querying those devices, or the devices themselves can use code to push data using an API into the monitoring system.

It is not always possible to query a device remotely, which means asking the device itself to send the data out to the monitoring platform is easier. Keep reading to learn more about push metrics and when it makes the most sense to use it.

Tired of composing the same endpoint searches over and over while working on performance issues? We've got you covered with our new Saved Searches feature! It allows you to bookmark your commonly used endpoint searches by app component, so instead of having to remember an exact query, you can just save it so you don't have to sift through the endpoints list again.

Similarly, automating data analysis becomes increasingly useful with scale.

There are several metrics in use to determine incident management success. Two of them are MTTD and MTTR, which we will be discussing in this piece.

I’ve been updating some of our security documentation explaining what we do to ensure our product is suitable for the security models in regulated industries, such as finance and healthcare.
