Access Logs: Format Specification and Practical Usage
Your server's been logging everything—it’s just easy to overlook until something breaks. Every incoming request, database call, or auth check ends up in your access logs. They’re not flashy, but they quietly document every interaction your system handles. For developers, they’re often the most reliable starting point when things go wrong. In this blog, we'll take a look at what an access log is, its format, types, and a few best practices.
Getting Started with Traceroute
“Traceroute? You mean the thing I can type at the command line? Why would I even want to set up a test for that?” This is, believe it or not, a comment we hear a lot at Catchpoint. At least from folks who are either new to tech, new to monitoring, or new to Catchpoint (or all three). It’s a common misconception. It’s also something I’m not going to spend a ton of time addressing here. This blog is not meant to convince you why traceroute is super useful (even though it is).
Best Network Traffic Generator and Simulator Stress Test Tools
Benchmarking the environment of a new network is a crucial part of ensuring its success when it goes live. This includes stress testing and generating traffic on existing networks, both of which help you to identify any potentially flawed or vulnerable areas—for example, drops in connection and packet loss. As we know, network traffic is critical to the success of a business, as it determines how data flows and how effectively your applications interact.

You have 3 seconds... that's it.
You have 3 seconds... that’s it. Today, users lose patience fast. A 3 second delay in page load time leads to 40% of users abandoning your site.

How InfluxDB 3 Enterprise Delivers 10-Millisecond Queries Over Historical Time Series Data
Time series data, such as IoT sensor readings or stock market ticks, flow in fast, often at a rate of millions of points per second. Querying this data, especially years of historical records, can be slow and painful if using a nonspecialized database rather than a time series database like InfluxDB.
