All About ITOPS: IT Operations Roles & Responsibilities

IT Operations or ITOps have long been a key part of IT service management (ITSM) for organizations. It has played and continues to play an important role in maintaining organizations’ IT infrastructure up and running and making IT available to all employees.

What is a Digital Workplace?

The digital workplace is a phenomenon that has grown in leaps and bounds in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The adoption of technologies has increased and changed all aspects of our lives today, including how we work. However, today’s workplace is very different from the traditional workplace.

DevOps - it's not dead yet

It’s one of those questions that’s tossed around the internet quite regularly. “Is DevOps dead?” Is there a genuine reason to think that DevOps is on its last legs?

Introducing Status Overrides

StatusGator is a status page aggregator: We bring together the status of all of your vendors into a single status page you can share with your team. Now, you can override the status of any service on your page to reflect exactly what you want it to. There are two opposite use cases for this feature: When a service is experiencing an outage and it’s not reflected on their status page. Or when an outage posted on their page is not affecting you and your team.

New in StatusGator: Status Page Messages

StatusGator status pages are a unique way to consolidate the status of all of your vendors on a single page. Reduce support ticket volume by publishing your status page to your team or users. Now you can publish a message to the top of your status page for even more effective communication. Use this space for maintenance notifications, highlighting critical outages, or explaining your page to your users.

But achieving compliance can be challenging when you aren’t sure what rules you should be complying with.

Who Owns Observability In Enterprises?

It’s common sense. When a logstorm hits, you don’t want to be left scrambling to find the one engineer from each team in your organization that actually understands the logging system – then spending even more time mapping the logging format of each team with the formats of every other team, all before you can begin to respond to the incident at hand. It’s a model that simply won’t scale.
