Site24x7 Server Monitoring: Your pit stop for capturing the disk monitoring flag

All storage devices, whether on-premises or in the cloud, are used to store or maintain data in a server. To organize files based on usage and perform read/write operations, the disk is divided into separate portions called partitions. A partition can contain the entire disk space or some of it. Disk usage gives the amount of space used by the storage device to read/write an operation.

How to Stay on Google's Good Side

For the first 6 months of 2020, Google has continued its monopoly on search engine use with an average net market share of 69.24%. Google’s continued favoritism puts it in a position to funnel the bulk of interested organic web traffic to your business making its blacklist a costly place to be. So, how do you stay on this giant’s good side?

The Complete Guide to Metrics, Monitoring & Alerting

Monitoring your system and infrastructure is critical to ensure the performance of your services. In fact, as software development moves faster and faster, alerting and monitoring becomes an indispensable practice for modern DevOps teams. Why is that exactly? That’s what I’m going to discuss today.

How blocks storage in Cortex reduces operational complexity for running Prometheus at massive scale

Cortex is a long-term distributed storage for Prometheus. It provides horizontal scalability, high availability, multi-tenancy and blazing fast query performances when querying high cardinality series or large time ranges. Today, there are massive Cortex clusters storing tens to hundreds of millions of active series with a 99.5 percentile query latency below 2.5s.

Why Netdata is free

When I first started the project that became the Netdata Agent, I was trying to solve a painful, real-world problem: IT infrastructure monitoring tools fell short when it came to providing complete, granular metrics in real time. Believe me, I had no shortage of tools to choose from, but each of them lacked something either in the ability to see every metric I needed, or see it at the frequency required.

Introducing the all-new Netdata Cloud

Netdata Cloud works differently from other monitoring solutions. Most solutions limit the number and frequency of metrics because they rely on architectures that aggregate data. Netdata Cloud, however, streams limited metadata from each node running the Netdata Agent, keeping you in control of the data on your systems. The advantage of this architecture is that there is no limit to the number or frequency of metrics, regardless of the scale or complexity of your IT infrastructure.

Observability Across the Development Lifecycle: A Convo with Andre Boutet of OneSpan

At OpenObservability, we had the pleasure to sit down with Andre Boutet, the Senior Director of Cloud Operations and Services for OneSpan. Andre had a conversation with our CTO, Jonah Kowall, around what observability means to his team and his organization. Teaser: It’s not just about ensuring uptime and availability for external systems. It’s a philosophy with a foundation on supporting the entire development lifecycle.
