Web API: your complete guide for custom integrations

Data is almost always scattered across too many tools. Usually, if you want to see it all in one place, you're stuck building messy pipelines or paying for a warehouse you don't really want. SquaredUp is a window into all those tools. It lets you see what’s happening across your entire stack in real time without moving any of the data. Think of it as a universal translator that lets your tools talk to each other so you can stop the manual digging and just see the big picture.

How to embed Grafana dashboards into web applications

Note: This post originally published in October 2023 and was updated in May 2026 to include new methods and options for embedding Grafana dashboards. Grafana dashboards are powerful and flexible tools for observing applications and infrastructure, so it’s no surprise we get a lot of questions from the community about how to embed them into their web applications.

Getting started with Checkly dashboards

Checkly is a modern reliability platform that combines testing, monitoring and observability in one place. Its integration with Playwright and languages such as TypeScript means that developers can write tests using tools they are familiar with and then run them in Checkly. Its Monitoring as Code philosophy also means that Checkly tests can be incorporated into CI/CD pipelines.

Why Some Roles Care About Open Source & Why Others Don't: 4th Annual Observability Survey | Grafana

Note: We're happy to share that since the recording of this video, OpenTelemetry *has* graduated from the CNCF! SREs, developers, and CTOs say open source is essential to observability. Engineering managers and directors? Not so much. Grafana's 4th annual observability survey — 1,363 responses — reveals a split inside the same orgs that's worth a conversation.

AI-assisted testing, extensions updates, and more: k6 2.0 is here

For years, teams have relied on k6 to take a more proactive approach to performance testing, ensuring they can catch issues early and deliver more reliable user experiences. That approach has helped make k6 one of the most widely used performance testing tools in the open source community today, with more than 30k stars on GitHub. Last year, we introduced k6 1.0, a major release that brought TypeScript support, native extensions, revamped test insights, and production-grade stability guarantees.

Eliminate noisy log lines with Adaptive Logs drop rules

Most platform and observability teams have logs they know are noise. These could be throwaway health check logs, forgotten DEBUG logs, or verbose INFO logs from little used services that only serve to inflate your bill. Regardless of what they contain and why they're there in the first place, the hard part is getting rid of them. Centralized teams want to easily and quickly prevent these logs from being ingested, without having to work with toilsome infrastructure change management to do so.
