Even after being in business for 9 years, I still wanted to keep everything: every email, every note, every design draft or mockup — all the small things that helped Monitive evolve into what it is today. Storage is not an issue these days, and by the looks of where technology is headed, that trend will not change anytime soon. There’s just one catch.

The secret to exceptional network management is periodically identifying and diagnosing network problems. Putting your experts at the network operations center (NOC) all day watching for a device to go down isn’t the best use of your workforce’s time. There has to be a smarter way to view potential network pitfalls without being glued to the chair in your NOC.

Stop the presses! We've just added a small but really cool new feature to your Honeybadger account: search key autocomplete. You've always been able to search your errors by params, session and other nested fields. It's easy to find all errors where params.user.name is bob. But there's a catch. You had to know beforehand that params.user.name exists, and you had to type it in manually. This made it really difficult to do on-the-fly exploratory searches.

There were some big IT headlines this past year. Microsoft acquired GitHub and IBM bought Red Hat. Kubernetes graduated from the CNCF incubator program. And the biggest headline of all—at least to those of us at Datadog, where we live and breathe monitoring—we released Datadog Agent version 6, a completely new monitoring agent written in Go! As we start the new year, we’d like to take a moment to recognize some of the incredible things our engineers accomplished in 2018.

Last week, the LogicMonitor executive staff kicked off a global tour across the LM offices to celebrate 2018 wins and share the company vision moving into 2019. This annual Company Kick-Off event (CKO) remains a strong tradition here at LogicMonitor, allowing team members to celebrate, collaborate and fuel-up for success in the coming year.

As you may know, Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system (RDBMS) developed by Microsoft. Several industries rely on SQL database servers for data storage and access because it supports a wide range of transaction processing, business intelligence, and analytics applications in corporate IT environments.

One of the biggest challenges Citrix admins face is uncovering answers for Citrix performance issues. When an application or a desktop is slow, people naturally pin the blame on the Citrix infrastructure. It’s possible that there could be issues stemming from the Citrix side of the house, but often the real culprits are the supporting infrastructure components: network latency, virtualization bottlenecks, AD issues, storage hotspots, database issues, etc.

When we are faced with a performance problem related to those responsible for the applications and those responsible for the network platform, we usually think about how useful it would be to have a traffic analyzer that clarifies the real origin of the problem. Now, many times we see network analysts who after installing the tool feel overwhelmed by the amount of information it offers them.
