Welcome back to our monthly product updates - SigNal! Our team shipped some major upgrades to SigNoz last month. We’re elated to share that SigNoz is now available with log management. It’s a major milestone in our journey of democratizing observability for developer teams of all sizes. We also shipped an intuitive alerts builder, attended conferences, and played new games in our Friday chit-chats 🥳 A lot of new open source contributors also helped us in making SigNoz better.

A rising number of businesses are adopting and utilizing cloud services and capabilities with remarkable success. But embracing cloud tools and services often brings unexpected changes for business leaders and IT teams, especially because of the way in which cloud adoption has altered how networks are monitored and managed.

It is arguably the most important 3-letter acronym on the digital marketing landscape. No, it’s not ROI. It’s SEO. Consider that: Clearly, effective SEO is extremely important. And for many businesses — especially smaller companies that are competing against big, established enterprises — it’s a matter of survival.

In the sea that is the SaaS market, there is an abundance of software for employee monitoring. This software, as the name suggests, is used for time tracking, monitoring, project management, and implementing safety measures. Widely used by companies that want to ensure that their employees are actually getting work done while on the clock, but that’s not where the benefits of using these tools end.

We are happy to announce the release of the Grafana usage groups feature in Grafana Cloud. This new feature — which is available in the Grafana Cloud Advanced plan — helps centralized observability teams and administrators track and attribute metrics usage back to groups that exist within a single shared Grafana stack. Ultimately, Grafana usage groups can help with governance and cost control.

One of our goals here at Checkly is to make it easier for developers to ship excellent software. But let’s face it, getting features out is only a tiny fraction of the story. Fast-moving development teams also break things. And the more things you build, the more things can go wrong. And trust me, they will. This is where API and end-to-end monitoring helps. Define automated test suites that check all your properties constantly and guarantee that everything’s up and running. All the time.

Does your development team want to snooze alerts during non-business hours? Or proactively prevent the creation of expected alerts for an upcoming expected maintenance window? Cloud Alerting in Google's Cloud operations suite now supports the ability to snooze alert policies for a given period of time. You can create a Snooze by providing specific alert policies and a time period. During this window, if the alert policy is violated, no incidents or notifications are created.
