In July, we rolled out SolarWinds® Papertrail™ support for SAML v2.0. SAML authentication allows you to log into your Active Directory® domain or intranet and have immediate access to Papertrail, with no additional login required. Today we’re extending Papertrail SAML 2.0 support to include group mapping. Group mapping allows you to define organization and product roles, and grant access to logs and billings plans, by adding an account to an identify provider group.

DigitalOcean droplets provide low-cost scale from a popular server provider. With DigitalOcean Monitoring, you can collect metrics for visibility, monitor Droplet performance, and receive alerts when problems arise in your infrastructure. But when you need to deep dive into your application to debug an issue, resolve an incident, or identify opportunities to improve your platform, you need a deep understanding of the underlying operating system and how it interacts within its environment.

In the evolving world of IT monitoring, I see that many organizations want to move to predictive monitoring. They usually allocate a significant budget for this type of effort that ultimately fails to yield the desired return on investment. Often, organizations are already collecting and processing large amounts of IT telemetry streams and using multiple solutions to monitor their systems. So, predictive monitoring seems like the logical next step.

It took about twenty-three years, a couple of IPv6 days, the exhaustion of most of the IPv4 address pools available at Regional Internet Registries (RIRs), and the increase of prices in IPv4 address market, but finally, it looks like IPv6 made it and met one important threshold in November 2020 – 100k IPv6 prefixes are now currently announced on the Internet!

While JavaScript frameworks come and go, a change has been brewing over the last several years that will permanently change what it means to be a modern developer: how our code goes from our laptops to the wild.

And just like that – welcome to the last part in our “Well-Architected and Serverless” series. We hope it’s been informative, insightful, and fun for you, to explore the five pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework (WAF) with us! Read the previous posts: Part 1: Security Pillar Part 2: Operational Excellence Pillar Part 3: Reliability Pillar Part 4: Cost Optimization Pillar So let’s look into the last – Performance Efficiency (PERF) – pillar.

Distributed tracing allows you to track the execution of your user's transactions by following them between applications’ microservices. It provides easy to understand visualizations of transactional lifespan with the ability to pinpoint any slowdowns and errors in response to microservices. During my presentation at Illuminate, I shared that we extended the Sumo Logic platform to cover application performance use cases.
