When an outage hits your service, everybody starts talking. Your engineers are talking about what caused the problem, and how to fix it; your management is asking about when it’ll be fixed; and your customers are telling the world that they’re not happy. But there’s an even more important conversation you should be having: communicating with your users about the issue.
To have Observability is to have the ability to understand your system’s internal state based on signals and externally-visible output. Honeycomb’s approach to Observability is to strive toward this: every feature of the product attempts to move closer to a unified vision of figuring out what your system did, and how it got there.
In this article we will look at the agent-like instrumentation tool T-Trace. The tool provides non-intrusive instrumentation capabilities for applications running on GraalVM. We will instrument a simple NodeJS application by using T-Trace and OpenTracing API with Jaeger NodeJS tracer.
Learn about OpsQ Recommend Mode, a new feature delivering auto-suggestions for alert escalation policies with OpsRamp’s machine learning algorithms. Recommend Mode builds upon Observed Mode by enabling one-click automation of suggested actions for alert escalation management. You can follow two approaches to use OpsQ Recommend Mode: First-Response and Alert Escalation.
Unresponsive and slow pages are both terrible for any website. Even with the best user interface (UI), unresponsive and slow pages negatively affect the customer experience and the brand's reputation.

If your page takes longer than a few seconds to load, it's time you check your IIS server logs.
Today, we’re bringing you an update of the performance/exceptions sample page. This update includes a number of improvements that will help you navigate and filter the available samples faster and more smoothly. We’re bringing these changes as an iteration of sample navigation improvements that we launched a while ago. We received valuable feedback from our users: the overlay made the navigation choppy instead of fluent.
Grafana dashboards can do a lot, but do you know how much more you can get out of them by configuring them as code? That was the topic of a recent FOSDEM 2020 talk by Grafana software developer Malcolm Holmes and Julien Pivotto, an open source consultant at Inuits. In their presentation, the pair discussed Grafonnet (a Jsonnet library to generate Grafana dashboards), provided tips and tricks about how to use it efficiently, and explained how to fully manage your Grafana instances from code.
This article is a continuation of Part I (A comprehensive guide to migrating from Python 2(Legacy Python) to Python 3), which details the changes, and improvements in Python 3, and why they are essential.
