Managing hardware assets, manually, from the time they are purchased to the time they are disposed of is a tedious, cumbersome task that is susceptible to many errors. These manual and scattered processes are often inaccurate and difficult to manage. Manual data keeping means that asset information is stored in silos, which raises the overhead expenses, increases the likelihood of asset theft and losses, and makes it hard to comply with the organization’s standards and regulations.

Prometheus’s remote write system has a lot of tunable knobs, and in the event of an issue, it can be unclear which ones to adjust. In this post, we’ll discuss some metrics that can help you diagnose remote write issues and decide which configuration parameters you may want to try changing. First, let’s discuss how remote write is implemented. In the past, remote write would duplicate samples coming into Prometheus via scrape.

Today, I’m excited to officially announce our support for the OpenSearch project, the new fork of the Elasticsearch and Kibana codebases. As we previously shared, Logz.io has the utmost commitment to its customers and the community to ensure that these open-source technologies will prosper by being built for the community and guided by the community.

Recently, Sentry converted 100% of its frontend React codebase from JavaScript to TypeScript. This year-long effort spanned over a dozen members of the engineering team, 1,100 files, and 95,000 lines of code. In this blog post, we share our process, techniques, challenges, and ultimately, what we learned along this journey.

Federal IT pros have tracked application performance for decades. Today’s environments are far more complex than they’ve ever been, particularly with the quick and steady rise of cloud computing, mobile devices, and remote work. This enhanced complexity demands an improved ability to collect and track application performance metrics to ensure things are operating as expected and needed. But not all federal IT pros have the time or knowledge to keep up with the demand.

Splunkbase apps are very popular among IT administrators and provide out-of-the-box content for different infrastructure types such as Windows, Unix, VMware, and AWS. As customers expanded their need for more infrastructure types, they historically had to manage and leverage multiple apps.

Splunkbase apps are very popular among IT administrators and provide out-of-the-box content for different infrastructure types such as Windows, Unix, VMware, and AWS. As customers expanded their need for more infrastructure types, they historically had to manage and leverage multiple apps. We have now introduced IT Essentials Work, one centralized app that provides a simpler way to monitor and troubleshoot across different infrastructure types without having to install and maintain different apps.

Performance optimization is a basic need for software development. When it comes to optimizing app performance, tracking frequency, maintaining production, or perpetuation method calls, profilers play a vital role. Learn why Python cProfile is a recommended profiling interface and how it enhances your software performance.

Although IT teams are called upon to deliver a lot these days, I doubt many are being asked to solve the type of post-2020 (read: weird) hybrid work scenarios depicted below. IT support tends to stick to its ‘bread and butter,’ they focus on things like network connectivity, application performance, cybersecurity, or onboarding for new hires—to name just a few.
