An important skill in database performance tuning is capturing, reading, and understanding query execution plans. The query execution plan is a roadmap of the resources allocated and operations performed when the database engine gathers the results of your query.

Efficient root cause analysis is vital to incident management. How quickly an issue can be understood determines the mean time to resolve (MTTR), which directly impacts the digital experience. When there is a sudden outage or a performance degradation, root cause analysis can become laborious given the complexity of all the components involved and the potentially huge amount of observability data generated from different sources.

In the last century we had very primitive computers and now, at the dawn of a new millennium are we the users who have become primitive!? Want to learn more? Let’s get to know User Experience Monitoring My first computer, in 1987, was a laptop with a monochrome LCD screen and 16 kilobytes of program memory. They were 15,584 precious bytes and they were read and executed very quickly.

OpenTelemetry (or “OTel”) helps you get your instrumentation started quickly, and it helps you get the most out of that telemetry data by providing flexible exporting options. As a result, it’s emerging as the new standard for instrumentation. To that end, today we’re sharing more insight into the work we’ve done (and are doing) to enable a path for all Honeycomb users toward OTel adoption. We hope you’ll be as excited as we are to embrace these open standards!

An application running in production is a difficult beast to tame. Most experienced developers–ones who spent enough late nights or Saturday mornings trying to break apart a nasty production bug–will try and create the clearest possible picture for their later selves while writing their code, so that they could understand what’s actually going on in the system during an incident.

Have you ever wanted to check the status of your Splunk Cloud Platform deployment but can't easily access your laptop? We've got you covered— the Cloud Monitoring Console is now available on Spunk Mobile.

Networks today are moving towards increased agility and dynamic capabilities to support advanced networking requirements and business-critical processes. This causes the IT infrastructure to span across wireless, virtual, and hybrid environments as well. But with networks evolving quickly, IT admins have a hard time managing them without the right solutions in place.
