Introducing SquaredUp for MSPs: Dashboards That Do More
Introducing SquaredUp for MSPs: Dashboards That Do More.
Burndown and burnup: Two charts every engineering dashboard needs
As engineering organizations scale, project visibility becomes a real challenge. Engineering managers lose track of what's actually happening across multiple teams. Executives ask "are we on track?" and get conflicting answers. Status meetings multiply but clarity doesn't improve. The root problem isn't lack of data, modern engineering teams generate tons of project information across JIRA, GitHub, CI/CD pipelines, and project management tools.
Grafana & Friends Stockholm meetup at 0+X
In this talk, we’ll introduce the Kafka Data Source plugin we developed for Grafana, which enables users to query and visualise Kafka topic data directly in their dashboards—without the need for intermediate storage or external services. We'll share how the idea came about, how we collaborated with the Grafana community and developers to bring it to life, and the challenges we faced along the way. We'll also discuss our vision for the plugin’s future and its role in the evolving observability landscape.
SquaredUp Cloud + Dashboard Server
SquaredUp Dashboard Server (DS) and SquaredUp Cloud both deliver cutting-edge data visualization for IT and engineering teams. The two products can be used independently, or together for complete operational visibility. This article explores how SquaredUp DS and Cloud differ, when to use each, and how they work together.
Single-tenant vs. multi-tenant architecture with Grafana Cloud: A guide to choosing the right approach
Grafana Cloud’s flexibility is one of its greatest strengths, but the breadth of choices can sometimes be overwhelming. We see this a lot when it comes to selecting the right architectural approach, with organizations unsure of how many stacks they need to host their environment. Grafana Cloud provides robust features for managing tenancy, enabling organizations to effectively handle diverse teams and projects.
Faster, more memory-efficient performance in Grafana Mimir: a closer look at Mimir Query Engine
Until recently, Grafana Mimir — our open source, horizontally scalable, multi-tenant time series database (TSDB) — has exclusively used Prometheus’ PromQL engine to evaluate queries. While the PromQL engine works great, it sometimes needs a lot of memory to run, specifically in the Mimir querier component. To address this memory consumption issue, we recently introduced Mimir Query Engine (MQE).
Release webinar: Dashboard Server 7.0
In this release webinar, Graham Davies, SCOM veteran and Dashboard Server Product Manager, takes a look at the latest enhancements in DS 7.0. Key highlights include.
Streamlining GitHub security alerts monitoring with SquaredUp
GitHub security alerts can get noisy very quickly, making it hard to see exactly what's going on across an organization. In this video, our Director of Engineering Tim Wheeler shows how you can quickly and easily get the visibility you need in a SquaredUp dashboard.
Distributed performance testing for Kubernetes environments: Grafana k6 Operator 1.0 is here
Performance testing is critical to build reliable applications, but testing at scale, especially inside modern Kubernetes environments, can be a challenge. For example, how do you coordinate tests across multiple nodes, test private services without compromising security, or even do both at once? And most importantly, how do you do all this without adding too much operational complexity to your stack?
How to connect ServiceNow to Grafana Cloud IRM incidents
Companies rely on a variety of services to streamline their workflows, which often requires data synchronization or information sharing across platforms. But are your tools flexible enough to connect with external systems? ServiceNow is widely recognized for its robust and complex workflow support for enterprises. However, it may not always offer the most intuitive or user-friendly experience when handling incidents.
