Understanding Distributed Tracing with a Message Bus

So you're used to debugging systems using a distributed trace, but your system is about to introduce a message queue—and that will work the same… right? Unfortunately, in a lot of implementations, this isn't the case. In this post, we'll talk about trace propagation (manual and OpenTelemetry), W3C tracing, and also where a trace might start and finish.

Observability from Development to Production with Platform.sh Observability

With Platform.sh and Blackfire.io monitor, profile and test your application even before it is released in production. Get actionable insights to improve your code rather than spend time figuring out what’s wrong. Ensure optimal performance and user experience for your web applications.

Troubleshoot faulty frontend deployments with Deployment Tracking in RUM

Many developers and product teams are iterating faster and deploying more frequently to meet user expectations for responsive and optimized apps. These constant deployments—which can number in the dozens or even hundreds per day for larger organizations—are essential for keeping your customer base engaged and delighted. However, they also make it harder to pinpoint the exact deployment that led to a rise in errors, a new error, or a performance regression in your app.

How to optimize resource utilization with Kubernetes Monitoring for Grafana Cloud

Overprovisioning or underprovisioning your Kubernetes resources can have significant consequences on both your budget and your app performance. By underprovisioning your Kubernetes infrastructure, you’ll end up with lagging, underperforming, unstable, or non-functional applications. On the opposite end of the spectrum, overprovisioning is a costly issue: Organizations spent almost $500 billion on cloud resources in 2022, yet an estimated 30% of those were wasted.

How to Monitor HTML Canvas for Load and Uptime

Before diving into how to monitor HTML Canvas, let’s define it. HTML Canvas is a powerful feature of HTML5 that allows developers to create and manipulate graphics, animations, and other visual effects using JavaScript. It’s a blank slate on which you can draw whatever you want, making it an excellent tool for creating interactive and dynamic web content.

Common Event Format (CEF): An Introduction

In the world of software engineering, monitoring and logging are two essential processes that help developers keep track of the performance and behavior of their applications. To facilitate this process, several logging formats have been developed over the years, including the Common Event Format (CEF). In this blog post, we will take a closer look at what the Common Event Format is, how it works, and why it is important.

Signals Report -xMatters Support

The Signals report helps you evaluate signals to your xMatters instance from HTTP, App, Email, and Incident Initiation and Incident Automation triggers (as well as some legacy inbound integrations). The report displays the timestamp, status code, and authentication details for each signal, as well as the payload and any related incidents, where applicable. Processed signals include outputs from the trigger and a link to the associated workflow so developers can further evaluate each request using Flow Designer's Activity panel.
