In this third post in the series of "secret" elmah.io features, I want to introduce you to the elmah.io Command Line Interface (CLI). While you probably spend most of your elmah.io-related time inside the UI, the CLI offers some interesting possibilities not available through the web app. In this post, I'll show what I believe are the two most usable and helpful features of the elmah.io CLI. There are a lot of sub-commands so feel free to play around with it.

In the Digital Age, IT incidents are an unavoidable aspect of business operations. From hardware failures to security breaches, these disruptions can wreak havoc on business continuity and user experience. Managing these incidents effectively requires a timely, systematic approach encompassing detection, prioritization, resolution, and communication. Traditional incident response methods often fall short, resulting in costly delays and inefficiencies.

Proper backups are universally acknowledged as essential, yet they grow increasingly tedious and prone to error as DevOps complexity escalates.

Multi-step synthetic transactions, also known as multi-step transactions or multi-step scripts, are automated tests that simulate complex user interactions with a website or web application. Unlike a single-step transaction (like page load), multi-step transactions involve a series of sequential steps or workflows that mimic real-world user journeys.

Are you juggling too many different types of network monitoring dashboards at once? If you're using software-defined networks (SDNs) and also managing traditional networks, it can be quite challenging to monitor them both at the same time since you need to remember which tool is responsible for monitoring which network and keep switching between them. Doing this can be a real hassle, but worry not!
