It enables DevOps teams to stay proactive about system health, optimize performance, manage resources effectively, and adhere to security and compliance standards. In this article, we'll detail how to use the Telegraf agent to collect performance metrics from your Jenkins environment, and forward them to a datasource.

We rarely think about how many processes are running on our systems. Modern CPUs are powerful enough to run thousands of processes concurrently, but at what point do our systems become oversaturated? When you’re running large-scale distributed applications, you might reach this limit sooner than you'd expect. How can you determine what that limit is, and how does that affect the number and complexity of the workloads you deploy?

FireHydrant is mission-critical infrastructure for thousands of engineers. It’s our job to be up – even when everything else is down. Here's a technical look at how we tested Signals alerting and on-call to ensure high availability and speed.
