The current popularity of Redis is well deserved; it’s one of the best caching engines available and it addresses numerous use cases – including distributed locking, geospatial indexing, rate limiting, and more. Redis is so widely used today that many major cloud providers, including The Big 3 — offer it as one of their managed services. In this article, we’ll look at how to monitor Redis performance using Prometheus, the similarly popular open-source monitoring system.

With the dawn of microservices and serverless, event-driven architectures have become the way to go when building a new system in the cloud. This approach has allowed for greater scalability, as the system can easily adapt and respond to changes in traffic or demand without having to overhaul the entire architecture. Additionally the Event-driven approach means your application is mainly concerned with routing event data to the right services.

Have you ever wondered how you can help Kubernetes manage your pods in the most efficient way? Kubernetes can do a decent job “out of the box,” but it can be optimized just like any other system. One such optimization in the Kubernetes world is introducing liveness probes, and in this post, you’ll learn everything about them.

A cornerstone of network observability is the ability to ask any question of your network. That means having an unbound capacity to explore the tremendous amount and variety of network telemetry you collect. It means seeing trends and patterns from a macro level, but it also means getting very granular to pursue any line of analysis of your data. Collecting information from flow records, SNMP, streaming telemetry, BGP, eBPF, and so on is indeed very important.

Deployment of eG Enterprise can be automated with or without Nerdio Manager. Many of our customers do choose Nerdio Manager to automate other workflows and to create and manage images for Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) deployments.

In any hospital, IT tickets raised by doctors and nurses are critical because every IT issue they face takes time and energy away from the delivery of care. The longer it takes to resolve a ticket from clinical staff, the greater the potential negative impact that issue can have on patient experience. Yet even with significant investment in support resources, doctors and nurses may still feel their technology issues are not resolved fast enough.

This is the second installment of a three part blog series. John Appleby sits down with Nick Miletich, CTO at Managecore, to discuss how building a next generation managed service firm had to include automation at the helm.

Everyone is shifting their workloads to the cloud, but one challenge remains: Workloads need to be automated. Whether they’re employing a cloud-native, cloud server, or hybrid model—IT operations teams need to know what, when, and now also where to automate. Speaking at the recent 2022 Automation Virtual Summit, Dave Kellermanns, Global Advisor for Automation, Broadcom Software explored some lessons learned and best practices for cloud automation. Read on to see some of the highlights.

In dynamic production environments, unpredictable traffic loads and frequent code changes can make it difficult for organizations to consistently optimize their cloud infrastructure, resulting in application performance issues, latency, and wasted cloud spend. Teams that manage large-scale cloud infrastructure deployments are often forced to tune their workloads’ configurations using a complicated mesh of script jobs—or worse, manual remediation by on-call engineers prompted by alerts.

This panel is in alpha version and still in development. To use it as is, you need to modify your configuration file and set enable_alpha = true in the panels section. More information can be found on this page. Two-dimensional graphics are the de facto way to visualize data within the observability realm, and Grafana is really good at plotting data this way.

Hardware is one of the most important, and most expensive, line items in IT’s purview. Constantly refreshing and provisioning hardware takes time and can be a very manual process. And one of the most significant reasons for refreshing hardware is battery life. Monitoring the health status of device batteries is crucial, and determining the health status can help maintain and extend the device lifetime in any environment.

Device performance issues can arise due to insufficient drive space, this may be one of the largest drivers of device issues. These issues can block OS updates and escalate to BSOD, requiring a hard reset of the device. Although, these are common issues, the business implications of them at scale cannot be overstated. Employee productivity drops and deadlines are missed. This in turn can lead to the business not meet its objectives. Don’t let low system space derail your business.

An essential element of your business success lies in establishing trust between you and your users. A big part of this is a reliable website that performs and is there when your users need it. We’ll show you how a website uptime monitoring tool can help you achieve excellence online, with all the wide-ranging benefits that encompasses, not least engendering trust between you and your users.

A look at best practices, no-code and low-code platforms you can use, common visualization types, criteria for good data visualization and more. Organizations regularly generate an overabundance of data that is essential for decision-making. Data visualizations play an important role in helping people understand complex data and observe patterns and trends over a period of time.

Modern computing environments and distributed workforces have produced new challenges to traditional information security approaches. Many traditional threat detection and response strategies rely on homogeneous environments, system baselines, and consistent control implementations. These strategies have been built on traditional environment assumptions that may no longer be true in your environment with the evolution of cloud computing, remote work, and modern culture.

Elastic has an entirely new Heartbeat/Synthetics workflow superior to the current workflow. If you’re a current user of the Elastic Uptime app, read on to learn about the improved workflow you can use today and should eventually migrate toward.

Prometheus metrics are usually visualized as numeric values on a graph, with the metrics categorized by labels. But what do you do when the numerical value doesn’t matter, and all of the information is in the labels? In that case, you might need to visualize the labels themselves. This scenario can arise because you’re not always in control of how the metrics get reported, but you do often need to visualize what’s there.

With the current financial climate, cost reduction is top of mind for everyone. IT is one of the biggest cost centers in organizations, and understanding what drives those costs is critical. Many simply don’t understand the cost of their Kubernetes workloads, or even have observability into basic units of cost. This is where FinOps comes into play, and organizations are beginning to implement those best practice standards to understand their cost.

Prometheus is one the the most acclaimed solutions for Kubernetes monitoring. There are multiple add-ons and exporters that facilitate the task of pulling Kubernetes metrics. Sysdig Monitor is a cloud-native observability platform that helps businesses with the whole observability lifecycle. It provides simplicity at all times, allowing companies to rapidly pull their Kubernetes and Prometheus metrics without headaches.

Reliable SSL monitoring is crucial to every website and online service. Without it, you can lose customers, profits, and even your position in search engine rankings. But which SSL certificate monitoring is the best?

Growing pains can be a natural consequence of meteoric success. We were reminded of that in our recent panel discussion with SumUp’s observability engineering lead, Blake Irvin, and senior software engineer Matouš Dzivjak. They shared how SumUp’s rapid growth spurt compelled them to change their resolution process—both logistically and culturally—to ensure a service level quality that reflects their customer obsession.

In today's digital landscape, organizations rely on software applications to meet the demands of their customers. To ensure the performance and reliability of these applications, observability pipelines play a crucial role. These pipelines gather, process, and analyze real-time data on software system behavior, helping organizations detect and solve issues before they become more significant problems. The result is a data-driven decision-making process that provides a competitive edge.

Last summer we teamed up with the New York Times to analyze the re-routing of internet service to Kherson, a region in southern Ukraine that was, at the time, under Russian occupation. In my accompanying blog post, I described how that development mirrored what took place following Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014.

Digital innovations have completely transformed the healthcare industry over the past decade. Today, clinical staff rely on applications to complete nearly every aspect of their day to day duties, from maintaining data privacy compliance to conducting telehealth. That makes it even more important that these critical applications stay online.

Is the U.S. economy in a recession? A recent Forbes article demonstrates how illusive that answer can be. By the general definition that two consecutive quarters of negative gross domestic product (GDP) equals a recession, the US entered a recession in the summer of 2022. However, the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), which defines U.S. business cycles, uses a different definition.

At Sentry, we practice continuous delivery, which means that code can be released as soon as it’s merged into the main branch.

Earlier this month, we announced a rebrand to meshIQ and in this blog we will highlight the reasons behind the rebrand and what you can expect going forward.

Many variables — such as your users' device type and configuration, external hosting services, and third-party libraries — can impact an application's performance. Without a performance monitoring system in place, numerous problems can arise. These issues could even mean that users stop using your application.

Any application you build has three distinct layers - a server-side interface, a client-side interface and the central codebase. In a monolith application, all these programs are written in a single language, and placed in the same web stack as well. Earlier web applications were written this way.

The risk from insider threats has grown massively, with perpetrators frequently getting around organizations' increasingly complex perimeter protections. It is one of the most common ways customer data or industrial and trade secrets leak. This very complex topic includes many types of threats and techniques. Let's discuss how you could detect insider threat activity at a network level.

Kubernetes Secrets are a built-in resource type that's used to store sensitive data. This blog teaches you how to work with Secrets in Kubernetes. Kubernetes can do many things, but we usually refer to it as a “container orchestrator.” Orchestrating containers means starting and restarting them when needed, ensuring their configuration matches the declared state, and autoscaling them. But Kubernetes can do much more than that.

As part of Nexthink’s launch of the new Nexthink Infinity Platform we also launched Collaboration Experience – adding detailed Microsoft Teams and Zoom call telemetry and insights to the comprehensive “See, Diagnose & Fix” capabilities of the platform.

We recently got this great feedback from a dear user in our Discord: This is great and exactly what we want, a clear problem or improvement we could make to help make that users monitoring life a little easier. This is also where the beauty of open source comes in and being able to build on the shoulders of giants - adding such a feature turned out to be pretty easy by just extending our existing Pandas collector to support SQL queries leveraging its read_sql() capabilities.

If you’re working remotely or managing remote teams, high latency can be a frustrating issue to deal with. High latency, also known as lag, is the delay between when a user inputs a command and when the server responds. High latency can make remote work slow and inefficient, making it difficult to get work done. Here are some things you can try to fix high latency for a remote user.

As an open source company that grew out of a side project in 2008 to an application and performance monitoring platform (APM) used by over 3.5 million developers, Sentry is committed to open source and the community of developers maintaining and building in the open. Similarly, we take a public approach to building our software, which is why it’s a natural extension of our values to announce our support for OpenTelemetry (or OTel), the leading open standard for observability.

Cloudwatch is the de facto method of consuming logs and metrics from your AWS infrastructure. The problem is, it is not the de facto method of capturing metrics for your applications. This creates two places where observability is stored, and can make it difficult to understand the true state of your system. That’s why it has become common to unify all data into one place, and Prometheus offers an open-source, vendor-agnostic solution to that problem.

In the blog titled “Streamline Endpoint Data with Cribl Pack for SentinelOne Cloud Funnel” we dove into the Cloud Funnel data, its relevance in the modern SOC, and how Cribl Stream transforms the data while addressing visibility gaps. We left the AWS-specific details to this blog for those not yet familiar with configuring AWS S3 buckets, SQS Queues, and Identity and Access Management (IAM).

Here we go again. If 2022 wasn’t enough, there are new challenges in 2023 staring right at information technology leaders. As interest rates rise and consumer demand slows, companies plan to cut costs and do more with less. But what does all this mean for you? Amid this uncertainty, the IT operations department must adapt well to these changes. Because if they don’t, the business they support will be disadvantaged.

From industrial business applications to finance and supercomputers, AIX runs the most demanding mission-critical workloads smoothly. AIX, IBM’s Advanced Interactive eXecutive, is a highly secure and reliable OS, which is why performance- and dependability-driven industries use AIX for their enterprise servers. In fact, the majority of Fortune 500 health care, telecommunications, energy, and financial companies run on AIX.

Today’s hybrid network environments have a balance of both distributed networks and implementations of modern technology. But they are not short of one core component: servers. Maintaining server availability and health has always been a necessity when it comes to network management. Preserving network uptime comes down to monitoring and managing the factors contributing to network downtime. One such factor that has a high potential to cause performance anomalies is hardware.

Previous versions of eG Enterprise limited the eG Manager integration to a single ITSM system such as ServiceNow ITSM, Autotask, JIRA or others. This limitation was particularly cumbersome for SaaS and MSP (Managed Service Provider) deployments where each tenant/customer may have had their own preferred ITSM system. Our latest release lifts this restriction. ITSM integration can now be done for a specific Organization, Organizational Unit, or even User.

Recently InfluxData announced SQL support in InfluxDB Cloud, powered by IOx. Users can now use familiar SQL queries to explore and analyze their time series data. The SQL support was introduced along with the usage of Apache Arrow. Apache Arrow is an open source project used as the foundation of InfluxDB’s SQL support. Arrow provides the data representation, storage format, query processing, and network transport layers. Apache Flight SQL provides a method for interacting with Arrow via SQL.

To say that IT professionals have a lot on their plates is an understatement and when managing Microsoft Teams, many feel inundated by Microsoft Teams alerts. Since Microsoft Teams is the ubiquitous platform for communication and collaboration in modern workplaces, optimal Teams performance is critical. Microsoft Teams can experience performance issues that can have a significant impact on productivity.

In today's digital age, businesses are heavily reliant on their online presence. Website downtime or technical glitches can have a significant impact on a business's reputation, customer satisfaction, and revenue. To avoid such situations, it's crucial to have a status page that provides real-time updates on the status of your website.

Custom dashboards are essential tools in the data-driven world for businesses, organizations, and individuals. They provide an interactive and comprehensive representation of data, making it easier to identify trends, patterns, and outliers. Custom dashboards are highly customizable, allowing users to select the most relevant data sources, visualizations, and metrics to meet their specific needs.

When I joined Honeycomb two years ago, we were entering a phase of growth where we could no longer expect to have the time to prevent or fix all issues before things got bad. All the early parts of the system needed to scale, but we would not have the bandwidth to tackle some of them graciously. We’d have to choose some fires to fight, and some to let burn.

Managing a Kubernetes cluster requires a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of its complex structure. To ensure smooth operation of your applications and optimal performance, it is vital to monitor a wide range of metrics across the different components of your cluster. In this article, we will discuss key metrics that can be used to monitor both self-managed and cloud-managed Kubernetes environments, helping you to keep your cluster running at its best.

Think of a monitoring tool — any monitoring tool. Got it? Good. Odds are, whatever came to mind was probably being used behind the scenes at Wells Fargo not too long ago. “You name it, and we probably had it at Wells Fargo,” said Senior Software Engineering Manager Nikhilesh Tekwani of the complex web of observability solutions that stretched across the U.S.-based financial institution.

The year was 1995. Michael Jordan returned to the NBA. Amazon sold its first book. Windows 95 unleashed the era of taskbars, long filenames, and the recycle bin. And when people weren’t dancing the Macarena, they were flocking to see Apollo 13 and hear Tom Hanks utter the phrase that would launch millions of (mostly annoying) impersonations: “Houston, we have a problem.”

Cloud networking is the IT infrastructure necessary to host or interact with applications and services in public or private clouds, typically via the internet. It’s an umbrella term for the devices and strategies that connect all variations of on-premise, edge, and cloud-based services.

Third-party JavaScript libraries provide developers with the tools they need to build modern web experiences, and a bit of cheatcode at times to not have to start from scratch. I mean, you don’t want to build an entire monitoring solution, so we help with Sentry’s Next.js SDK that only requires a couple of lines of code.

Cribl empowers you to take control of your observability, telemetry, and security data. Wherever your data originates from, wherever your data needs to go, and whatever format your data needs to be in, Cribl gives you the freedom and flexibility to make choices instead of compromises. Addressing visibility gaps by ingesting more data sources as the threat surface continues to expand has been a challenge.

Instrumenting your code is essential to understanding your system’s performance and diagnosing issues as they arise. Traditionally, this was accomplished using proprietary vendor libraries, causing major lock-in. Enter OpenTelemetry. OpenTelemetry is an open-source project that provides a set of APIs, SDKs, and integrations for instrumenting code.

Slack is a popular messaging and communication platform used for work, study, groups, and communities. According to Techjury, more than 10 million people used Slack every day in 2022, and 43% of Fortune 100 businesses are paying for Slack subscriptions. On July 21, 2021, Salesforce completed its purchase of Slack for $27.7 billion and announced plans to make Slack an operating unit under Salesforce.

When browsing the web, you may have come across error messages such as "404 Page Not Found" or "500 Internal Server Error." These error messages are HTTP statuses, which are an essential part of the internet's communication protocol. In this article, we'll cover the most common HTTP statuses and what they mean.

You can now use the Cloud Logging datasource plugin to view your logs in Grafana.

By creating both cluster-wide and application specific channels you can quickly build NPM dashboards and topologies that surface essential performance and availability metrics broken down by application, client and server.

When you’re adding or subtracting fractions, you need to make sure that they have a common denominator, a number that allows you to compare values. In the same way, your IT environment needs a common “language” for your event log data. Your environment consists of various devices running different operating systems, software, and firmware.

Share: VictoriaMetrics is always improving, with frequent updates adding new features, performance improvements and bug fixes listed at the CHANGELOG page. We usually make at least a single release every month. All the new features and bug fixes go to the latest release. That’s why we recommend periodically upgrading VictoriaMetrics components to the latest available release. But the latest release may also contain bugs in the latest features.

For a long time at Honeycomb, we envisioned using the tracing data you send us to generate a service map. If you’re unfamiliar, a service map is a graph-like visualization of your system architecture that shows all of its components and dependencies. We didn’t want it to be a static service map, though—the kind you’d view once before going “huh, neat”—and then never looking at it again.

In today’s fast-paced world, app performance equals brand reputation. Customers expect apps that are fast, responsive and available 24/7. That’s where Application Performance Monitoring (APM) comes in. The technology enables businesses to ensure the best possible user experience by monitoring and managing the performance of their applications. But as applications become increasingly complex, identifying and resolving performance issues in real-time becomes increasingly difficult.

The ability to continue business operations for the foreseeable future is a key metric from a financial standpoint. But from a risk management perspective, all dimensions of an organization’s strategic and operational framework must be analyzed in order to… The last part relates to business resilience — and it’s what we’re going to explore here.
