In this blog miniseries, I’d like to talk about how to think about doing data analysis “the Honeycomb way.” Welcome to part 1, where I cover what a heatmap is—and how using them can really level up your ability to understand what’s going on with distributed software. Heatmaps are a vital tool for software owners: if you’re going to look at a lot of data, then you need to be able to summarize it without losing detail.
A new global research report launched today by AppDynamics reveals the emergence of a new breed of technologist, primed to drive positive and sustainable change within their organizations over the coming years – The Agents of Transformation. Technology advancements continue to change the world in ways we’re only beginning to imagine – transforming the way we work, rest, and play.
I love writing software, but I hate dealing with bugs. They take you away from what you want to be doing and often lead you into a rabbit hole. At Sentry—an open-source error tracking platform that provides complete app logic, deep context, and visibility across the entire stack in real time—we have a few tips that we’ve honed over time to make error resolution painless (ok, less painful), including an official integration with PagerDuty.
We have read with great interest the recently released The New Stack ebook entitled: Guide to Serverless Technologies. It is a great report with great insights! We encourage you to read it as well (it's free!). We have recently closed our own survey and are tabulating the results and have seen many similarities and some differences in the responses. Weighing in on the findings of the New Stack survey in advance of releasing our report, we wanted to comment on three key themes from this eBook…
When we released derived columns last year, we already knew they were a powerful way to manipulate and explore data in Honeycomb, but we didn’t realize just how many different ways folks could use them. We use them all the time to improve our perspective when looking at data as we use Honeycomb internally, so we decided to share. So, in this series, Honeycombers share their favorite derived column use cases and explain how to achieve them.
At many points in a hospital’s functioning, workflow touches the outcome. The problem facing much of healthcare though is that the established workflow for alerting and messaging physicians is broken. What are ways for improving scheduling doctors? What are the potential impacts from improvement?
Compliance is a major challenge for firms operating in highly regulated industries that rely on external networks of agents or affiliates to sell and/or promote their products. In wealth management, insurance, and lending industries, regulations stipulate that any “content” that is publicly accessible is considered to be advertising and as such, subject to strict compliance oversight.
With the newest updates to the StatusCake Mobile app we are adding further functionality to create a mobile monitoring experience that’s useful for all!
TLDR; "If you expect to receive important emails from a trusted email address it is worth whitelisting the address to make sure that emails won't be accidentally blocked by an overzealous email client." Here we provide step-by-step instructions on how to do it in Gmail by creating a filter.
Companies are generating massive amounts of data every minute. It’s impossible, unrealistic, and cost-prohibitive for analysts to spot every threat. That’s why even though breaches are in decline year over year, the first quarter of 2018 saw 686 breaches that exposed 1.4 billion records through hacking, skimming, inadvertent Internet disclosure, phishing, and malware.
