PHP is a widely popular server-side language and enjoys the top spot in terms of market share. Many world-famous organizations like Facebook have their applications written in PHP. WordPress, which powers 43% of all websites, is also built on PHP. In this tutorial, we will use OpenTelemetry to instrument a PHP application for telemetry data. It’s essential to monitor your PHP application for performance issues and bugs.

Every month, our team works on two major fronts: shipping new features asked by users and iterating on shipped features to make them better for existing users. Last month, our team worked closely with users to ship a lot of product improvements both in UI and backend performance.

IaC (Infrastructure-as-Code) is becoming ubiquitous in the EUC (End User Computing) community and within the datacenter. Automation and declarative infrastructure for on-premises VDI and cloud digital workspaces, such as Microsoft AVD (Azure Virtual Desktop) or AWS WorkSpaces, is now mainstream. Vendors such as Citrix now advocate the use of technologies such as Terraform and Ansible for deployments.

As the applications we support evolve, so too must the services that keep them reliable and secure. And, evolve they have! Sumo Logic started life over a decade ago by solving the difficult problem of log management. Our cloud-native architecture eliminated the hassle of managing on-premise log management solutions while scaling on-demand to handle a significant volume of high-cardinality data. Powerful search made exploratory investigation fast and efficient for customers. This was a game changer!

For developers who’ve created their own instrumentation with the Java Agent plugin, the next phase of the process is regression testing. By performing regression testing, you can ensure that your plugin functions the way it’s supposed to after you’ve made code changes or updates. You’ll have your own plugin, but to illustrate regression testing in this article, I’ll use the plugin in our example repo.

MEVN stack is a popular Javascript software stack that has become very popular in recent times to build powerful web applications. MEVN stack involves four technologies to build an end-to-end web application, namely, MongoDB, Expressjs, Vuejs, and Nodejs.

Imagine this scenario. Your company has been laboring for months on an application and is finally releasing it. Your team has worked out all the potential issues and has created an all-encompassing project, but something is not right. There is an issue, and your team is getting some much-needed R&R. You come the next day and see a ton of irate emails. You have to go back to the drawing boards to figure out what went wrong before you release a fix. What I explained was a nightmare.

It is critical that access to any configuration changes or management actions made to monitoring platforms are logged and traceably audited. In this article, I will help you learn how to discover the auditing capabilities in IT monitoring tools. You will learn how to audit and manage the monitoring platform itself and make sure that it is being used appropriately.
