Using Traces for Testing - SigNoz Community Call with TraceTest and DevOps Educator Paulo

This week we welcomed the TraceTest team to talk about how TraceTest can use your OpenTelemetry Traces to do truly deep end-to-end tracing of your stack. We also had Globo engineer and DevOps wizard Paulo Henrique de Morais Santiago, who along with experimenting with SigNoz as a New Relic alternative for Observability, is also the author of one of the top DevOps courses on Udemy. Check out his course at.

Sneak Peek: New-Age Infra Observability Viewer with DX UIM from Broadcom

In this 6-min. video, see how an upcoming feature, Observability Viewer, will provide a new, consolidated view across the infrastructure estate. The DX UIM Observability Viewer feature is intended to allow customers to more quickly understand their operational situation.

Simplifying Data Lake Management with an Observability Pipeline

Data Lakes can be difficult and costly to manage. They require skilled engineers to manage the infrastructure, keep data flowing, eliminate redundancy, and secure the data. We accept the difficulties because our data lakes house valuable information like logs, metrics, traces, etc. To add insult to injury, the data lake can be a black hole, where your data goes in but never comes out. If you are thinking there has to be a better way, we agree!

Observability and the DORA metrics

The Accelerate State of Devops Report highlights four key metrics (known as the DORA metrics, for DevOps Research & Assessment) that distinguish high-performing software organizations: deployment frequency, lead time for changes, time-to-restore, and change fail rate. Observability can kickstart a virtuous cycle that improves all the DORA metrics.

Upgrading NPM and SAM to Hybrid Cloud Observability

This video discusses and demonstrates upgrading an Orion Platform installation running NPM and SAM, to Hybrid Cloud Observability – advanced license. The video discusses system requirements, installation methods and walks through a full demonstration of the upgrade. This video is suitable for anyone who wishes to understand more and see an upgrade from a module based install to Hybrid Cloud Observability.

Infinite Retention with OpenTelemetry and Honeycomb

The needs of observability workloads can sometimes be orthogonal to the needs of compliance workloads. Honeycomb is designed for software developers to quickly fix problems in production, where reducing 100% data completeness to 99.99% is acceptable to receive immediate answers. Compliance and audit workloads require 100% data completeness over much longer (or "infinite") time spans, and are content to give up query performance in return.
