Infrastructure Monitoring Basics: Getting Started with Telegraf, InfluxDB, and Grafana

Ensuring the reliability and performance of applications and systems is vital to a healthy infrastructure. With the exponential growth of data, traditional monitoring approaches fall short of providing real-time insights and proactive problem-solving. That’s where InfluxDB comes into play, offering a robust and scalable solution for all your monitoring needs.

What Is Website Monitoring?

Website monitoring is the process of tracking a website's key performance indicators using a set of tools and best practices. The goal is to maintain consistent availability and a good user experience, even during unexpected traffic spikes. A slow or poorly performing website can frustrate users, disrupt their online journey, and negatively impact the bottom line. Website monitoring helps organizations avoid downtime and proactively respond to potential errors before they affect the end-user experience.

Stackify Retrace effectively combines APM with log management, enabling users to view detailed transaction traces for applications directly from the log statement to provide greater context and visibility for more effective analysis.

Validating Cloud Connections for Enhanced Connected Experiences

The world relies on the cloud which means that organizations are fundamentally reliant on third-party networks to access these critical cloud resources. While cloud adoption decisions are largely made by executive teams, the responsibility of performance and availability falls squarely on the shoulders of network operations teams.

Implementing Jaeger for Distributed Tracing in Microservices

Earlier, applications were mostly monolithic, meaning that several programs were written in the same language and placed in the same web stack. However, it is no longer the case today. Today, every software is comprised of several small application programs coming together each providing a service of its own. These applications are what we call microservices.
