I figure you’re doing okay with SquaredUp. It still works for you. Maybe you feel there are a couple of things that could be improved, but it’s not a big deal. So you’ve not upgraded yet. And frankly, because it all works fine and is still doing its job, you haven’t kept up to date on all the latest features rolled out in the SquaredUp updates. But…you’re missing out – on a lot.

Karl-Martin Karlson has been working on Pipedrive’s observability team for more than four years, implementing and supporting several observability platforms such as Grafana, Prometheus, Graylog, and New Relic. In sales, as in life, you can’t control your results — but you can control your actions. With that in mind, a team of sales professionals set out in 2010 to build a customer relationship management (CRM) tool that helps users visualize their sales processes and get more done.

We're very excited to release AppSignal for Ruby gem 3.1, which adds a Magic Dashboard for MRI VM stats. By upgrading to the latest Ruby gem, you'll automatically get this dashboard created in AppSignal as soon as data from the new probe starts flowing in.

They work automagically to give your team performance insights into gems like Puma, Sidekiq, ActiveJob, ActionMailer, and others.

Grafana Loki 2.6 is here! In addition to improvements in query performance, we are excited to introduce two key features in Grafana Loki: cross-tenant query federation and targeted deletes.

Kubernetes, Prometheus, and Grafana are a trio of technologies that have transformed cloud native development. However, despite how powerful these three technologies are, developers still face gaps in the process of implementing a mature Kubernetes environment.

“Overwhelming.” It was the only word Grafana Labs CEO and Co-founder Raj Dutt could use to describe how it felt to look out at the sea of more than 600 Grafanistas gathered together in Whistler, British Columbia, for the first company-wide employee event in two years.

The Spot family has grown rapidly. Elastigroup, Ocean, and Eco have been joined by Spot PC providing Virtual Desktops, Ocean for Apache Spark, Spot Storage, and Security.

The new overview dashboard appears as the top option in the side navigation menu accessible to authenticated users.

Dish Network is on a mission to connect people and things by changing the way the world communicates. With products ranging from Dish and Sling TV to retail wireless services and 5G networks, monitoring their satellite communications equipment is mission critical to maintaining extreme uptime for Dish’s 20 million customers across the United States.

An ITSM dashboard is your de-facto control center for everything related to service management. It should be clear, detailed, versatile, and offer a single-glance way to get the information you need. Otherwise, you risk mismanaging your IT assets and operations because you missed valuable data points. We thought we’d share helpful tips to get the most out of the experience.

SCOM has incredible powers, but it’s not always easy to find the root cause of issues fast. And you definitely don’t get one-click SCOM root cause analysis. We’ve all been there. A business-critical server goes down and you don’t know why. Let’s imagine you had a dashboard showing the health statuses of all your server groups and you notice that the United States is showing as critical.

When Grafana started in 2014, its main goal was to be a great dashboarding solution for Graphite. Around the same time, the Prometheus project started to gain steam, but it wasn’t clear whether it should be added to Grafana. After all, Grafana was a Graphite frontend, it was uncertain at the time if Prometheus would take off in popularity, and it would take resources away from the core purpose of why Grafana was created.

In this article, we will talk about Graphite and Grafana monitoring systems, and their similarities and differences. Also, we will explain why it is an effective solution to use Graphite and Grafana together to monitor your system metrics. We will also learn about the benefits of using MetricFire. Sign up for MetricFire for free and store and process your system metrics with our hosted Graphite solution.

Meet the newest changemakers making an impact in the current climate crisis: Apeel Sciences.

Kubernetes has quickly become the standard container orchestration technology for developers and companies who want to deploy at scale, iterate quickly, and manage a large number of applications and services. At Grafana Labs, we recognized the need for something more powerful for our users to be able to successfully keep an eye on everything happening inside their clusters.

A few months ago, I wrote about using the Sqlyze data source plugin in Grafana to query COVID-19 wastewater surveillance data on Databricks. Did you know that with the Sqlyze Enterprise plugin, you can also access REST APIs (web services), treat them as database tables, and query them using SQL? You can use any ODBC driver you like, and it’s not limited to relational databases, either. You can query NoSQL and document databases, too.

The entire team at Grafana Labs is thrilled to bring the community our latest and greatest release, Grafana 9, which we introduced at GrafanaCONline this year. In addition to introducing the Grafana Loki query builder, a new command palette, and making role-based access control GA, we also rolled out major updates to the navigation and search functionality in Grafana with the aim of continuing to support the community and users throughout their observability journey.

In 2019, Polar Signals Founder and CEO Frederic Branczyk predicted that continuous profiling would be the future of observability. Today, he’s making that future a reality with his open source continuous profiling tool, Parca. In this episode of “Grafana’s Big Tent” podcast, our hosts Matt Toback and Tom Wilkie chatted with Frederic about how he got his start in the continuous profiling world and how he’s built an active open source community around Parca.

I recently changed teams within Grafana and now I get the chance to work with Grafana Loki, our highly effective open source log aggregation system that stores and queries logs from your infrastructure or applications. At Grafana, we always dogfood our products so what better way to learn more about Loki than trying out a simple use case that I can actually benefit from.

Edgardo Peregrino is a freelance software developer, writer, maker and IT technician. For six years now, I’ve been a passionate maker with a focus on robotics. Recently, I entered the world of cloud native computing, which has allowed me to integrate maker projects with open source tools such as Grafana, Prometheus, and Jaeger.

Grafana 9 launched at GrafanaCONline 2022 in June, and one of the biggest highlights was the introduction of the new Grafana Loki and Prometheus query builders. 🎉 We believe that both of them are going to be incredibly useful for our Prometheus and Grafana Loki users. In this blog post, we will focus on the Grafana Loki query builder and share its new features and improvements with you.

Sometimes the simplest questions prompt the most spirited discussion. Questions like: What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? What should we have for dinner tonight? Or, as we find out in this episode of “Grafana’s Big Tent" what even is observability?
