In our previous Blog, we introduced how we use Prometheus and the GroundWork Application Performance Monitoring (APM) connector to instrument a GoLang program to send metrics to GroundWork Monitor Enterprise. In this article, we continue with more Prometheus examples, but this time we demonstrate how to instrument a Java application with Spring Boot for easy monitoring.

SCOM 2019 is a monitoring powerhouse. Its capabilities are unmatched. But it also has some serious issues when it comes to unearthing and visualizing the valuable data locked inside. The replacement of Silverlight with HTML5 in the SCOM 2019 web console was a welcome enhancement, but the SCOM web console still shares its design with the administration console, which is slow, complex, and makes it downright difficult to get the visibility you need.

“Cost” would seem to underpin almost every decision IT teams make. Sure, business requirements drive overall operations budgets, but it’s always in tension with decades-old certainties about cost. It’s long been the unyielding constant of IT equations. In particular, IT pros migrating application infrastructures out of the data center have discovered the on-premises math of cost containment no longer works.

IP address conflicts are an example of textbook “network problems”. There are multiple causes for IP conflicts, and, to make things even more fun, the behavior of devices experiencing an IP conflict can vary. Let’s explore IP conflicts in depth to help better understand what they are, why they occur, and how to fix IP address conflicts. An IP address conflict is a common network issue that occurs when two or more devices on the same network have the same IP.

Every IT environment is different. Some depend heavily on an efficient reactive support team, others need to manage a totally decentralized workforce, while some focus their resources on an infallible security and compliance team. Whatever your IT ecosystem looks like, you need to make sure you are taking into account the things that matter most to you, your IT department and your business at large.

In today’s complex IT infrastructures, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers play an indispensable role in automating IP allocation and configuration. A DHCP server’s capacity to allocate IPs to the requesting clients in real-time is one of the factors that ensures constant uptime of dynamic networks. However, even though a network’s availability depends on them, DHCP servers are often not closely monitored by IT teams.

If you’re looking for a way to drive conversion rates up and bounce rates down, attract new customers, and make your existing client base more loyal—and who isn’t?—you’ve got to invest in improving the user experience of your apps and services.
