We know monitoring your AWS environment can be difficult, which is why we’re thrilled to tell you about a new application we’ve built to make the entire process easier, more efficient, and more intuitive. We’ve offered AWS monitoring capabilities for some time, but with the AWS Observability application in Grafana Cloud, we’ve distilled our collective efforts into a more integrated and potent solution.

As part of our ongoing efforts to further optimize our customers IT Asset Management (ITAM) operations, we are pleased to announce that InvGate Insight can now be integrated with Microsoft Intune. In short, this integration enables you to add Intune as a discovery source, so that you can access more information on the Microsoft assets in your IT inventory right from our ITAM solution. Join us as we explore how combining both tools can benefit your Device Management capabilities.

One of the real successes of the Agile Software development movement has been the push to have regular, frequent deployments. This has manifested as build and deployment automation and the general adoption of CI/CD. As engineers automate more processes of their software release lifecycle, an important question is how to automate Quality Assurance, which includes resilience testing and, more specifically, Fault Injection.

Behind the scenes of any IT infrastructure lies the ongoing challenge of monitoring and managing never-ending systems, applications, and network devices. As an IT professional, your task list always includes staying ahead of potential issues, minimizing downtime, and navigating disruptive alerts.

You can elevate your IT infrastructure monitoring with AIOps. AIOps offers full-stack visibility, enhancing IT infrastructure monitoring efforts. This lets you transform the familiar monitoring landscape by turning the chaos of constant alerts into a proactive approach to problem-solving. IT infrastructure monitoring challenges typically relate to the complexity of backend systems, especially when it comes to cloud platforms. For example, consider the following.

Over the last five years we’ve seen our customers run 583,954 incidents more efficiently thanks to a shared workspace, powerful Runbook automations, and auto-captured data. Yet despite a great deal of progress, incident efficiency hasn’t achieved peak potential. We talk to a lot of folks that are still stuck in the muck: new responders struggle to get up to speed quickly, incident commanders wade through post-incident drudgery, and knowledge silos prevent comprehensive improvements.

This post explains how databases optimize queries, which can result in queries running hundreds of times faster. While we focus on one specific query type that is important to InfluxDB 3.0, the optimization process we describe is the same for any database.
