How Your Web Monitoring Benefits From Multi-Channel Alerting

Have you ever had to purchase a CPU or a GPU? If so, you have probably come across the term “bottlenecking”. There is a certain threshold where output exceeds ability to process, and that can prevent optimal system functionality. One of the methods used in computing to overcome these bottlenecks is multi-threading, where requests are processed simultaneously by multiple threads. We can apply a similar principle to downtime monitoring.

UI Breadcrumbs for Android Error Events

In cases, when a crash happens in your Android application, you want more context on what occured before the issue — kind of like following breadcrumbs to the exception. Our SDKs automatically report breadcrumbs for activity lifecycle events, system events, HTTP requests, and many more.

How to monitor Amazon Kinesis

We live in a world that becomes more connected with each passing day. Public cloud hosts like Amazon Web Services (AWS) provide platforms with a wide array of capabilities that quickly scale based on demand. As a result, we’ve seen an explosion of new applications and services that continue to change our daily lives for the better. Data is a critical component of all of these systems. They can ingest vast amounts of data, process or transform it, and then pass it on.

How to Configure the Opentelemetry Collector to Begin Collecting Metrics

OpenTelemetry enables Observability, and building observable systems requires you to understand the various ways in which they can fail. Jumping from one possible fix to another and one change to another without fully recognizing the impact on the system can be a significant hindrance to a successful customer experience. In this post, I’ll explain how to get started with OpenTelemetry to help you make your systems more observable.
