AppSignal MCP Server: Get Started in your IDE

Jul 29, 2026 By Dejan Lukić In AppSignal

Cursor, Claude, and their fellow tools are great when they are speaking code, but once that code hits production, they are not exactly native. However, if your code is monitored by AppSignal, an MCP server can bridge that gap and allow agents to poke around the production.

Your AI Agent Can Now Debug Playwright Tests

Jul 29, 2026 By Checkly In Checkly

Playwright 1.59 added a `cli` parameter to the `--debug` flag, and this enables your coding agent to use the built-in step-through debugger. Step through the test steps, inspect network traffic at every moment, and access the accessibility tree. The same debugger is now usable without the inspector window.

When Playing It Safe Creates More Risk

Jul 29, 2026 By ScienceLogic In ScienceLogic

When organizations evaluate a software upgrade, the conversation typically centers on risk. Teams consider the maintenance window, the resources required to prepare for the change, the possibility of unexpected issues, and the operational impact of the upgrade itself. These are all legitimate concerns because the people responsible for enterprise platforms are accountable for maintaining service availability while introducing change into complex environments.

Real-Time Monitoring in Automated Container Cranes: Sensors, Data Pipelines and Fault Detection

Jul 29, 2026 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters

Modern container terminals run on uptime. A single crane failure during a vessel call can cascade into berth delays, demurrage charges, and disrupted yard schedules that take days to recover from. The pressure this places on operations and maintenance teams has driven a fundamental shift in how port equipment is monitored - away from periodic inspection cycles and toward continuous, sensor-driven visibility across every system on every machine.

Introducing usage-based billing in MSP Central!

Jul 28, 2026 By Sambit Sekhar In ManageEngine

Billing has always been one of the parts of running an MSP that doesn't scale on its own. More endpoints, more tickets, and more monitors under management all mean more usage to track—and for most MSPs, that usage still gets tallied by hand before an invoice can go out. Not anymore. We're rolling out the MSP Central billing module, powered by our integration with Zoho Billing—and it's live with usage-based billing from day one.

The NAS Died. My WhatsUp Gold Server Died With It. WhatsUp Gold 360 Still Alerted Me.

Jul 28, 2026 By Jason Alberino In WhatsUp Gold

The NAS Died. My WhatsUp Gold Server Died With It. WhatsUp Gold 360 Still Alerted Me. A real home-lab failure shows why always-on external monitoring and cloud-originated notifications matter when the local monitoring stack becomes part of the outage. On April 13, 2025, the NAS providing NFS storage to several virtual machines in my Proxmox lab locked up and halted.
