Exposing More Public Endpoints for Sending Metrics and Errors to AppSignal

Today, we launch a new feature: sending metrics and errors to AppSignal over our “Public Endpoint” API. AppSignal has many web frameworks, databases and background job frameworks automatically instrumented when you want to monitor a Node.js, Ruby or Elixir app. If you have code running on serverless architecture such as AWS Lambda, you can’t run our agent, so our standard integration with all of the out-of-the-box magic won’t work.

Not knowing real time asset intelligence is a non starter

Complexity breaks correlation. Intelligence brings cohesion. This simple principle is what makes real-time asset intelligence a must-have for AIOps that is meant to diffuse complexity. To further create a context for the user, it is critical to understand service dependencies and correlate alerts across the stack to resolve incidents. CMDB systems have been useful to break down configuration items into logical layers. But, that’s not enough because they can become outdated very soon.

Intro to CircleCI Arm Compute Resource Classes

Arm Compute Resources Classes is a new feature in Preview from CircleCI which enables developers to execute CI/CD pipelines on Arm64 architectures. Join Angel Rivera, Senior Developer Advocate, and Alexey Klochay, Arm Compute Product Manager, both from CircleCI, to learn more about The Arm Compute preview program and how to easily implement them into CI/CD pipelines.

Resource check profile - Monitor Windows event logs and Linux syslogs

Monitor the internal resources in your server such as event logs and syslogs to monitor specific events across all Windows and Linux servers. Internet-facing systems constantly confront the risk of security hacks and data theft. While you're monitoring key performance metrics of your servers, keeping an eye out for security incidents is also necessary. This can be achieved through event log monitoring for Windows servers, and syslog monitoring for Linux servers.

Monitoring critical windows services and processes

Along with server performance metrics, such as CPU, disk, and memory usage, it is important to monitor the performance of each service and process running on the server to completely analyze the load on the system resources. This video shows how Site24x7 helps you achieve that. Say you're monitoring a Windows server with Site24x7. Along with tracking the performance metrics of the server, you can also track the performance of critical services like MySQL, Apache, and PostgreSQL, and processes like redis-server.exe.

Monitor dependency and alert suppression

A network outage triggers multiple redundant alerts and burns out your alert balance. Site24x7's monitor dependency configuration helps you effectively handle the alert flood during an outage. Let's say you're monitoring your server with Site24x7, along with a few plugins hosted in it. Any downtime faced by the server will also affect the plugins, resulting in a flood of alerts for the server and the individual plugins.

How to configure services in Squadcast: Best practices to reduce MTTR

With a rise in digital platforms, IT infrastructure has grown exponentially complex to a level where multiple application interdependencies coexist with varied architecture & oncall team types. This blog looks at how you can model your infrastructure in Squadcast to reduce your time to respond & resolve incidents.

Comparing Real User Monitoring and Synthetic Transactions

Written by Nick Cavalancia, Microsoft Cloud & Datacenter MVP The need for visibility into service availability and delivery quality has led to the rise in interest in monitoring Microsoft’s Office 365 services from the user perspective. With two different approaches available, what value do they each bring?
