Add metadata to multiple monitors at once

Aug 27, 2026 By Valeria Kurolapova In StatusGator
We’ve made monitor metadata easier to manage at scale. You can now use Bulk Actions to add metadata to multiple monitors at once. Select the monitors you want to update, choose Metadata from the Bulk Actions menu, and add the key/value pairs you want to apply. For example, you can quickly add the same team, owner, project, environment, or other custom information across a group of monitors – without editing each one individually.

Aug 27, 2026 By Avantra Team In Avantra
Most large enterprises elect a hybrid approach to SAP operations, but this is a more recent trend. And, as SAP operations professionals, we are still learning about the impacts of this choice and approach, even though it's often the most sensible and pragmatic. Years ago, everything ran on-premises. But today it's a mixed architecture of SAP running on-premises, landscapes leveraging hyperscaler platforms, and for customers migrating to Cloud ERP, an even more complicated mix including cloud services like BTP in addition to decades of legacy.

Microsoft 365 Monitoring for MSPs: Why the Admin Center Isn't Enough

Aug 27, 2026 By Peter Stevens In Almaden AI
Managed Service Providers are responsible for an increasing proportion of their customers' cloud infrastructure. For many MSPs, Microsoft 365 has become one of the most important parts of that responsibility. Email, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Entra ID, Intune and Microsoft 365 licensing can all sit within the same customer environment.

Aug 27, 2026 By Chris Griffing In GitKraken
Perplexity was a big name a few years ago. But, we haven’t heard much out of them lately. There are plenty of posts on social media criticizing Perplexity to that effect.

Task containers turn idle jobs into on-demand compute

Aug 27, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun
Somewhere in most production setups there is a container that stays awake all week to do one job on Friday. Maybe it re-indexes a database. Maybe it runs a batch report, or a data migration that only matters at month end. Either way, the resources are billed for seven days. Task containers close that gap. They are ephemeral, API-triggered containers that spin up inside an Upsun Cloud environment, run exactly one command, and remove themselves when that command exits. Nothing sits idle between runs.
