In this video, you’ll learn how to turn Kubernetes node labels and pod labels into tags in Datadog in order to correlate metrics, traces, and logs back to Kubernetes deployments. Using labels for Kubernetes objects—such as pods or nodes—is key to organizing and making sense of your deployments. Datadog can automatically bring your Kubernetes labels from your clusters into the Datadog platform as tags, regardless of whether you’re using on-prem Kubernetes or a cloud-based service such as AKS, EKS, or GKE.

In part 1 of this 2 part series, you’ll learn how to use API tests to proactively monitor the uptime and performance of your web applications.

In part 2 of this 2 part series, you’ll learn how to create Datadog Browser Tests to replicate user journeys and verify both that your web applications are responsive and functioning properly at all times. In part 1 of this series (link), you learned how Datadog’s API tests can be used to check API and website uptime. Datadog Browser Tests take this a step further, allowing you to replicate entire user journeys and transactions through your web applications. This is done with our browser recorder: simply click “Start Recording” and click through your application to record a test.

Come join me on an adventure to analyze and improve my driving behavior and driving routes to get the most range out of my all-electric Nissan Leaf. You will get to see how you can use Grafana, Cortex, Loki, and other amazing open source technologies on a $35 Raspberry Pi to process and store over 1000 messages/second from the vehicle CAN bus along with GPS data and even camera images!

Shows the most popular applications from the tool set in action. The split screen video illustrates how much more easier common tasks are with the SysAdmin Tools!

The official opening of GrarfanaCONline, the 2020 Grafana user conference. This keynote from the leadership of Grafana Labs focuses on where we’ve been and where we’re going, including a preview of the Grafana 7.0 release.

It’s Grafana 7.0 release day, and Grafana creator Torkel Ödegaard will talk about everything you need to know about the new features and enhancements.

Do you ever feel like your systems lack unnecessary complexity and overengineering? This is the talk for you. Join me as I detail the creation of a Raspberry Pi-based desktop Kubernetes cluster in an attempt to overcomplicate the already complex world of stateless web application deployment. We’ll walk through building an observability platform using open source tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and Jaeger to keep a close watch on our tiny fragile microservices and then break them intentionally for our own amusement.

We have been utilizing Grafana at Whiting Oil and Gas for approximately three years. In that time, we have greatly impacted the way our field assets are managed through dashboards and alerting. Instead of servers and network data, Whiting is using the application to monitor oil and gas wells in remote locations. Historically, the energy industry has deployed very expensive tools to monitor assets and visualize data.
