Gremlin app for Dynatrace - DEMO!

Dynatrace gives engineering teams deep, real-time visibility into every service they run. That visibility is the foundation of every effective reliability practice, and it's exactly the foundation Gremlin is built to extend. Once you can see how your distributed systems behave today, the next step is knowing how they'll behave under failure tomorrow—and to do it before those failures happen.

How to add Software Catalog metadata at scale with Terraform | Datadog Tips & Tricks

Adding metadata to Software Catalog entities manually is a tedious process that doesn’t scale as your service count grows. This video shows you how to automate that work with Terraform so you can add shared metadata across existing Software Catalog entities at scale.

GitHub Copilot Monitoring & Observability with OpenTelemetry

Learn how to implement end to end monitoring and observability for GitHub Copilot Chat using OpenTelemetry and SigNoz. In this video, we walk through enabling the OpenTelemetry exporter built into the Copilot Chat extension in VS Code, collecting a trace for every agent turn, and visualizing everything in SigNoz to gain real time visibility into model calls, tool executions, token usage, prompt cache savings, latency, and failures. Copilot Chat ships its own OTLP exporter, so there is no instrumentation library to install and no collector to run.

Grok Build Observability with OpenTelemetry

Learn how to implement end to end observability and monitoring for Grok Build, xAI's terminal coding agent, using OpenTelemetry and SigNoz. In this video, we walk through turning on Grok Build's native OpenTelemetry exporter, collecting metrics and structured session events, and visualizing everything in SigNoz to gain real time visibility into token usage, sessions and turns, tool calls and their outcomes, error categories, and startup latency. Grok Build ships its own exporter, so instrumenting it is a matter of configuration, with no library to install and no collector to run.

How a Citrix Monitoring Tool Helps Optimize Virtual Desktop Performance

A trader waits 50 seconds for a Citrix session to load while the market moves. A clinician steps away from a patient because the virtual desktop froze mid-record. A call-center agent watches keystrokes lag every customer question. None of these people file a detailed bug report. They contact the helpdesk, reporting that “Citrix is slow,” and lose minutes of productive time, multiplied across thousands of users every day.

Top Kubernetes Monitoring Tools Compared: Which Solution is Best for Enterprise Environments?

Modern enterprises rely heavily on Kubernetes to orchestrate containerized applications at scale. However, as Kubernetes environments grow in complexity, maintaining visibility into application performance, cluster health, and infrastructure dependencies becomes increasingly challenging. Choosing the right Kubernetes monitoring tools is essential for ensuring application availability, optimizing resources, and delivering consistent user experiences.

Site24x7 APM business transactions explained

Learn how to set up and monitor Business Transactions using Site24x7's APM Insight in this step-by-step tutorial. We walk through configuring APM Business Transaction Rules, defining transaction criteria (like HTTP method and URL patterns), and analyzing key performance metrics such as response time, throughput, Apdex score, request count, and exception rate. Whether you're troubleshooting slow application performance or setting up proactive monitoring for your business-critical transactions, this video shows you exactly how to get actionable insights from your APM dashboard.

We Redesigned the SigNoz Trace View for Million-Span Traces

A quick walkthrough of SigNoz Cloud's new trace detail view, with a flame graph that renders 100,000 spans in a single load. AI and agent workloads are producing traces with much higher span counts. We rebuilt the trace detail view in SigNoz Cloud to make investigating large traces faster. Here's what's new.

SigNoz Cloud Dashboard Schema Is Now Built for AI Agents

A quick walkthrough of SigNoz Cloud's new dashboard schema, redesigned to make dashboard operations by AI agents faster, more reliable, and lighter on tokens. AI agents are increasingly creating and editing observability dashboards. We redesigned the SigNoz Cloud dashboard data model with a structured, strictly validated schema so agents can work against defined fields and paths instead of inferring the dashboard structure.

Best Synthetic Monitoring Tools for Citrix, Web Apps & Digital Workspaces

Employee productivity and customer satisfaction depend on the consistent performance of digital workspaces, virtual desktops, web applications, and SaaS platforms. While reactive monitoring identifies issues after users experience them, synthetic monitoring tools enable organizations to detect and resolve performance problems before business operations are affected.
