WebSocket Application Monitoring
WebSockets have been around for over a decade now, but the real-time web existed long before they came. This preceding ‘real-time’ web was typically slower and hard to achieve. It was attained by hacking available web technologies that were not primarily built for real-time applications. There was no solution with TCP/IP socket-style capabilities in a web environment that could address all concerns associated with operating in a web environment.

What are Suspect Spans?
Suspect Spans surfaces a list of spans that correspond to where the most time in a transaction is spent. Instead of clicking into every trace in an attempt to identify the bad actor, check out the Spans tab or Suspect Spans section in every transaction summary and jump directly to the span that needs your attention. In this video, we dive more into what suspect spans are, and we go through a demo of how you can also use Suspect Spans as a complement to your performance monitoring.
The Ugly Truth About (Most) Cloud Rightsizing Recommendations
Rightsizing is about finding the optimal cloud configuration options to ensure that you get the performance you need—within any given constraints you are operating under—at the lowest possible cost. This is a simple proposition, but deceptively so. For one thing, business requirements are constantly changing, meaning that your workloads must adapt to support them, which in turn changes their operating parameters.
Using Telegraf to send syslog metrics to Graphite
When you own and operate software, they generate various types of logs from disparate sources such as databases, servers, and applications. The metrics from these important digital assets are what companies monitor continuously. When they show you a sign of unreliability, companies need to take swift actions to fit the cause and prevent it from growing to a larger problem. The key to success in this activity is owning a good Syslog application and metrics software where you can clearly see metrics.
