The Place Where Modern Operations & Technology Come Together
The latest News and Information on Monitoring for Websites, Applications, APIs, Infrastructure, and other technologies.
Proactive Mainframe Monitoring
Virtually every large enterprise uses mainframe, and specifically uses MQ and CICS. Most monitoring solutions used by mainframe ops teams provide access to many monitored parameters, but few deliver context based on history. This can create many thousands of false positive alerts for every important alert, making rapid identification and remediation of critical issues a major headache.

Auto-smooth noisy metrics to reveal trends
Datadog makes it easy to correlate, compare, and visualize metrics from your infrastructure and applications. Some metrics, however, are inherently so noisy that the graphs become unreadable (the dreaded spaghettification problem), and you lose the ability to extract essential information about trends and large-scale deviations. For cases like these, we provide several smoothing functions that help you identify trends in your metrics.

Kubernetes Monitoring with Prometheus: AlertManager, Grafana, PushGateway (part 2).
A complete ‘Kubernertes monitoring with Prometheus’ stack is comprised of much more than Prometheus servers that collect metrics by scraping endpoints. To deploy a real Kubernetes and microservices monitoring solution, you need many other supporting components including rules and alerts (AlertManager), a graphics visualization layer (Grafana), long term metrics storage, as well as extra metrics adapters for the software that is not compatible out of the box.
