Instrumentation Your Way: Introducing a Combined Splunk AppDynamics Agent

Sep 10, 2025 By Courtney Gannon In Splunk
In 2025, microservices are everywhere and Kubernetes is the de facto standard for operating cloud native applications. But not all apps are built in microservices architectures. For most enterprises, hybrid environments are the reality, with their business run on a mix of three-tier and cloud native applications.

Data Historians vs. Time Series Databases: A Practical Path Forward

Sep 10, 2025 By Allyson Boate In InfluxData
Industrial data strategy often feels like a choice: keep legacy systems or replace them outright. But neither extreme is ideal. Full replacements are disruptive and costly, while avoiding change leaves businesses stuck with tools that limit growth. The better path is incremental. Each organization has different needs, and modernization works best when you build on proven systems while adding new capabilities.

Monitor Cloud-Native & Hybrid Apps and Business Transactions With Observability Cloud APM

Sep 10, 2025 By Wei Li In Splunk
As organizations modernize, most applications don’t fit neatly into one category—they span both traditional three-tier architectures and cloud-native microservices. To monitor these hybrid environments effectively, teams need APM tools that can seamlessly connect the two worlds.

Logs vs. Metrics: Why You Need Both for Observability

Sep 10, 2025 By Patrick Sites In LogicMonitor
Picture this: Your dashboards are calm. CPU load is steady. Error rates are low. Everything looks fine. That is, until the alarms go off. Now what? Metrics tell you something’s wrong, but not what, where, or why. They reveal symptoms, not root causes, and in high-stakes environments, that’s only half the story. Say your API response times spike. Metrics raise the flag, but they don’t tell you if it’s a code deployment, a database hang, or a traffic surge.

Visually identify observability gaps with Cloudcraft in Datadog

Sep 10, 2025 By Jace Harker In Datadog
Modern cloud environments are highly complex and dynamic, with critical services relying on large numbers of ephemeral resources. Ensuring observability coverage across this landscape is essential for troubleshooting, maintaining reliability, optimizing performance, and enforcing security standards. But as environments grow more elaborate and their ownership more dispersed, tracking observability coverage becomes increasingly challenging.

Monitor Windows Certificate Store with Datadog

Sep 10, 2025 By Shanel Huang In Datadog
The Windows Certificate Store is a critical component of any modern Windows environment. Certificates enable TLS encryption for Internet Information Services (IIS)-hosted applications, support certificate-based authentication in Active Directory, and help validate the identity of trusted Windows services. But if a certificate in your store expires, is revoked, or is part of a broken certificate chain, you risk instability and security gaps in your Windows environment.

What is the Internet Stack... and why should you care?

Sep 10, 2025 By Catchpoint In Catchpoint
We talk a lot about the application stack, the code and services you build. However, just as critical is the infrastructure that delivers that code to your users. That’s the Internet Stack: a complex chain of technologies and services, from DNS and BGP to CDNs and ISPs, that every digital experience depends on. It’s separate from your application stack. It’s different for every user, in every geography. And most importantly, it still impacts your users—even if you don’t directly own it.
