Announcing the latest dashboard enhancements

Apply for Sentry's Open Source Grant

Work should be fun. Sometimes it’s not, especially when your full-time job isn’t aligned with something you care about — like open source. Contributing to open source full-time is an opportunity not available to everyone. We’d like to change that with the Sentry Open Source Grant, which offers funding to an individual dedicated to working on an open source project for three months.

Windows Management Instrumentation in remote monitoring

Pandora FMS features include decentralized monitoring, which is based on several standards and/or protocols of common and open use (SNMP v1 and v2 -v3 from version 7.0 NG 727-, ICMP and WMI).

How to Configure a Multicast Linux Network

In a world where consumer-level computing technology has been largely dominated by Windows, many users remain unaware of the need for administrators to configure and maintain network hardware and environments based on the Linux operating system.

It takes a lot of time, effort and money to configure centralized monitoring. Making it all the more frustrating that those carefully crafted alerts will probably just end up being ignored. So why has the whole of ITOps collectively decided to banish your monitoring alerts to their junk folders? The simple answer: alert fatigue.

Become an eagle-eyed network admin using OpManager's push notifications

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.

Announcing Search Autocomplete

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.
